What a fantastic day we had at this year’s First Bulwell Santa Run! The community truly came together, filling the town with festive cheer, laughter, and a whole lot of Santa, Elves and even the odd Grinch. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout or a more joyful atmosphere.
An Incredible Turnout
With over 120 participants, including runners, walkers, families, and even a few festive dogs, the event was buzzing with energy from start to finish. It was amazing to see people of all ages joining in.

Festive Fun for Everyone
The morning was full of smiles as Santas of all shapes and sizes made their way around the 3k and 5k routes. Whether people were jogging, strolling, or dancing along to Christmas songs, the emphasis was on having fun and doing something positive together.
Our volunteers were brilliant, cheering participants along, handing out treats, and keeping the atmosphere lively. A massive thank you to each and every one of them—they’re the heart of our events.

Capturing the Christmas Magic
We’ve got some wonderful photos from the day. From mini Santas to full family teams, everyone helped make this event one to remember. Keep an eye on our social media pages where we’ll be sharing more of your festive moments!
Supporting Our Community
We’re also delighted to share that the event raised funds to support The Toy Library local community projects, something we are incredibly proud of. Your participation and generosity help us continue offering life-changing running, walking, and wellbeing sessions across Nottingham.

Thank You for Being Part of Something Inspiring
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, supported, and spread the word. Events like this remind us why we do what we do, bringing people together, lifting spirits, and creating a welcoming community where everybody belongs.
