Rosemere Clitheroe Santa Dash 5k

The Rosemere Clitheroe Santa Dash 5k, held annually in Clitheroe, Lancashire, is a festive and charitable running event that typically takes place on the last Sunday of November, with the 2019 edition scheduled for November 24th. While the specific history of this exact iteration is part of a broader fundraising effort by Rosemere Cancer Foundation, the Santa Dash itself has become a popular fixture, attracting participants of all ages and abilities dressed in Santa costumes to raise money for cancer research and treatment. Participants can expect a fun, community-focused 5k course through the charming town of Clitheroe. The terrain is generally road-based, making it accessible and suitable for a wide range of runners and walkers. The atmosphere is usually lively and festive, with many participants running or walking with family and friends, and the sight of a sea of Santas is a memorable highlight. Given the November date, runners should be prepared for potentially brisk, cool weather conditions, and possibly dampness, adding to the autumnal charm of running in Lancashire.
