Help turn Louth red this December
We’re thrilled to announce that the 3rd annual Louth Santa Run for Life will take place on Sunday, 6th December 2026 at 11:00 AM. Following the incredible success of last year’s event, we’re excited to bring the festive fun back to the heart of Louth!
The run will start and finish in Louth Market Place, following a town centre route that loops around St James’ Church. Participants can choose between one or two laps (approximately 2 km or 4 km). Whether you run, jog, or walk, this event is open to all ages and abilities—and the course is wheelchair friendly.
Once again, Louth Run for Life has teamed up with Louth Rotary to deliver this joyful community event. After last year’s turnout of 500 Santas, there’s been a real buzz to make this an annual tradition.
“We love to get involved in fun and inclusive events, and if we can raise money for good causes while giving our time, that’s even better,” said a spokesperson from Louth Rotary. “Fighting disease is a core mission of Rotary International, and this event is a brilliant way to support vital cancer research while bringing the community together.”
This festive run builds on the legacy of the Louth Run for Life, which has now raised an incredible £1,000,000 for Cancer Research UK.
“Partnering with Louth Rotary last year brought together two organisations that know how to run events,”said Simon West, Chairman of Louth Run for Life. “It was amazing to see 500 Santas fill the town centre with festive cheer. We can’t wait to do it all again—and even bigger this time!”
