Our Helensburgh WINTER Festival 2023 has moved to a new date – right in the middle of December – so it’ll be extra Christmassy!

It’s closer to Christmas this year, and as Helensburgh is officially THE Christmas Town, we will have an even bigger festive atmosphere than ever before, with some new surprises as well as all your favourite stallholders, street food, & stage with entertainment all weekend long & the Round Table Santa Dash will still take place on Sun 10th.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements on here very soon, and if you or anyone you know wishes to help or volunteer in any way, you can contact us directly, either by email via the website or just send us a PM on our socials!

We’re delighted to announce The Helensburgh Santa Dash is back again this year – on Sat 9th December!

Important Information

Pick-up Santa hat and wristband from 10am, event starts 12pm sharp.

We only accept registrations via this website. Entrants under the age of 16 can only enter if accompanied by an adult.

All entrants receive Santa hat and wristband, with finishing medal at the finish line.  Only Dashers with wristbands will receive a goodie bag at the finish line!

Santa Dash Information

Helensburgh & District Roundtable want the Santa Dash to be affordable, for everyone and particularly for families.  Therefore, we have kept the cost to register to take part as low as we can.

Adult registration is £7.50 (£5 early bird) and children under 16 can take part for £3.75 (£2.50 early bird). Early bird pricing finishes at midnight on 1st December.

Instead of a full Santa Suit, participants will receive a Santa Hat and a wristband that will entitle you to a goodie bag at the finish line.

The Santa Dash route is the same as before; the full Dash is approximately 4KM – however, there is Santa’s Secret Short Cut for younger Dashers and those who want to reduce the distance by half!

All our profits from the Santa Dash will be given to a local good cause with the aim of giving vulnerable people and families a Merry Christmas.
