Oakhaven Santa Dash

Register now for Oakhaven Hospice’s festive 3km fun run around Lymington 

On Sunday 6th December, Oakhaven will be turning Lymington red with a sea of Santas! 

Lovingly known by many locals as ‘the unofficial start of Christmas’, the Oakhaven Santa Dash is a fun opportunity to gather together with friends, family, and colleagues to run, jog, walk, stroll, or even scoot around the streets of Lymington. Although some might be speeding to win, many choose to 'dash' far more sedately!

Registration is now open! Entry is £17 per adult and £8 per child, with a family ticket priced at £45. There is also a special ‘6 for £75’ ticket, which is perfect for groups of friends and colleagues. Please note, a £3 per person late-entry supplement will apply to registrations made in person on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th December. Register today at www.oakhavenhospice.co.uk/santa-dash

Your ticket price includes a Santa suit, which will be available to collect on Saturday 5th or Sunday 6th December from Lymington Community Centre, on a first-come, first-served basis. Regular ‘Dashers’ are encouraged to wear again any Santa suits they may have saved from previous years - and anyone who would prefer to dress as a different festive character is welcome to do so! Decorated pushchairs and buggies are welcome, as are mobility scooters. If you are bringing your dog, feel free to dress them up - but short leads are a must.

The Oakhaven Santa Dash will start and finish in Lymington High Street, outside the event’s headline sponsor, John D Wood & Co. 

All funds raised by the Santa Dash will help to fund Oakhaven’s day-to-day running costs, which last year amounted to £9 million. With only 11% of funding covered by the NHS, your local hospice relies on kind donations, fundraising, gifts in wills and income from its charity shops and home care provider, Oakhaven Care Ltd, to cover the remaining 89% of costs.
