The Route

Santa in the City 2024 London route

Your Santa Run 4.5km route will begin, in Paternoster Square just by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral. You will then run along the North bank where there will be fantastic river views, before crossing the Thames via Southwark bridge.

The route will then take you along the Thames path past Shakespeare’s Globe and then heading towards Tate Modern, where you will cross the river once again, this time over the millenium bridge.  You will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the beautifully lit St Paul’s Cathedral, before finally returning to Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!

No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4.5km, relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk. Santa in the City is a great way to get you into the festive spirit.
