This year, Victoria Park was transformed into a joyful flurry of red, white and festive sparkle as 1,500 Santas and Elves laced up their boots and joined us to raise an astonishing amount for The Myton Hospices.
A special thank you to Con McHugh for capturing the festive fun and creating this wonderful video.
From start to finish, the 5km route was bursting with Christmas spirit. Everywhere you looked there were jingling hats, rosy cheeks and huge smiles!
We are absolutely blown away by your generosity! Together, you helped raise an unbelievable £112,253 – a record-breaking total that will make an enormous difference.
This fantastic amount could fund the running costs of Warwick Myton Hospice for three weeks.
Natalie Walker, Events and Campaigns Manager at The Myton Hospices, said:
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our record-breaking Santa Dash to celebrate the festive season and support your local hospice. The amount raised will enable us to be here for more people when they need us most, now and in the future. Thank you so much to each and every one of you.
A big well done to all the little ones who took part in the Mini Dash – we hope your medal reminds you how amazing you are!
And huge congratulations to the stars of our Best Dressed Dog Competition. You brought so much joy to everyone watching.
To our brilliant volunteers and marshals… thank you. Your generosity, time and friendly smiles are at the heart of every Myton event, and we simply couldn’t do this without you.
Our thanks also go to photographers Andrew, Naveed, Con and Jasmine for capturing the festive fun.

A special mention to the wonderful performers who brought music and joy to the day. Thank you to Royal Spa Brass, Warwickshire Singers, Kirsty Leslie, RockinWarren and the Rock Choir at Pump Room Gardens.
We’re so grateful to Andrew, our MC, and to Lea from Lea Zumba for getting everyone moving with a brilliant warm up.
We would also like to thank Warwick District Council for helping to make the event possible, and the Mayor of Royal Leamington Spa, Councillor Ruggy Singh, for joining us, it meant a great deal to have you there.
Our appreciation goes to Robinson Goss Car & Van Hire for kindly providing a free van, and to our wonderful long-term supporters Dennis Eagle, whose sponsorship helps make Santa Dash the special event it is.
To every participant, supporter, volunteer, performer and sponsor… thank you. You have helped ensure people can access the care they need and deserve, and we are truly grateful.
You’re all firmly on the nice list!
