Take part in our Santa run and jog, run or even walk 5km in a location of your choice between the 1st – 24th December, to raise vital funds for neuroblastoma research.

Around 100 children each year in the UK are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Take part in our Sleigh to 5K virtual Christmas challenge on your own or with your family and friends to help scientists develop new, more effective and kinder treatments for children with neuroblastoma. 

You’ll receive a FREE Santa suit for adults and youths, and elf costumes for little ones - we’d love to see your photos when you’re taking on that 5K! 

Sleigh to 5K - your way!

Take on the Sleigh to 5K, your way. You can walk, jog, run or cycle your 5k, at home or in your local area.

Walk 5K with your family, use a treadmill in the gym or run the roads and spread some festive cheer in our Santa suits!

To help get you in shape before race day, we’ve created a four week training plan.

Don’t leave Santa waiting, sign up now!

How does it work?
