The Route

CLICK MAP TO ENLARGE

Your Santa Run 4km route will begin in Paternoster Square.

Your route will start by going past St Paul’s Cathedral and then across the Millennium Bridge, where you will enjoy world-famous views of Tower Bridge, The Shard of London, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

You will then go over Southwark Bridge and join the Thames Path, where you will head towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge via some of London’s most unknown hidden paths.

You will then return through the City, back over Southwark Bridge to the lively Bankside area, on the south side of the River Thames.

After another 500m, you will cross the Millennium Bridge again and once again take in the views of St Paul's Cathedral as you head towards the finish line in Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!

No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4km, relatively flat, and you can walk or run. 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.
