Getting your Santa Suit...

Santa suits are ‘ONE SIZE FITS ALL’

I’M COLLECTING MY SANTA SUIT ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT…

You can collect your Santa Suit on the day from 1.00pm from our collection point, The Founders Arms, Bankside London. This location is just next to the Tate Modern.

If possible please do collect it, if possible, before 5.00pm, as it will get very very busy after then.

If you have already signed up and want to have your Santa Suit posted to you, just email us and we can arrange it for you. Postage fees will apply and will cost from £4.95.

I PAID FOR MY SANTA SUIT TO BE DELIVERED…

Your Santa Suit will arrive in the last two weeks of November. We recommend you select the ‘collection option’ if you are signing up after 30th November.

We can’t guarantee delivery as it is a very busy time of the year and especially if there is a postal strike.

If you want to change to collecting your Santa Suit on the day of the event, just email us but unfortunately, postage fees cannot be refunded.

There is NO bag drop facility at Santa in the City.

This is because of security reasons. Santa suits can be delivered in advance (postage fees apply) just select the postage option when signing up, or they can be collected from 1 pm on the day of the event from the Founders Arms, Bankside, located by the Tate Modern,

Booking fees apply to all sign ups. You will be transferred to Lets Do This, our sign-up partner, when you click the ‘sign up’ buttons above.

The Route

Your Santa Run 4.5km route will begin, in front of The Founders Arms and just outside the Tate Modern. You will run along the Thames Embankment, enjoying the world-famous views of the City of London, St Pauls Cathedral, and the Millenium Bridge.

You will then pass the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and then turn towards Southwark Bridge, cross over the bridge and then hug the north embankment, going through the Thames's hidden paths, running towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

You will then return through the City, back over Southwark Bridge to Bankside. After another 500m, you once again take in the views of St Paul's Cathedral and Millennium Bridge to the finish, where you started from, in front of the Tate Modern, completing a truly iconic route!

No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4.3km, relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk. Santa in the City is a great way to get you into the festive spirit and if you want any more information, please do contact our events team on 0330 4441189 or via santa@tfaltd.co.uk. Unfortunately due to the strict security rules, we are unable to offer a bag storage facility.
