About Santa Dash 2025 – Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight Santa Dash is back!
7th December 2025 - 11am start – Ryde Superbowl
Following the success of 2024, Ryde and District Round Table are determined to make the IoW Santa Dash 2025 bigger and better. Tell your friends and help us double the number of Santas this year!
Held at the same familiar location of Ryde seafront, get into the Christmas spirt by slipping into a Santa suit and making the dash for the finish line.
Tackle the 2km or 5km dash with your partner, children, or friends…including those with 4 legs and a tail.
Buggies also welcome for those bringing under 3’s!
Once again, we are extremely proud to be supporting Mountbatten Isle of Wight and other island charities.
More details to be announced during the year on our Facebook page.

About the dash
The dash kicks off at 11:00 (with the safety briefing at 10:45 and the warm-up at 10:55).
Walk, jog or run, but ensure you wear suitable footwear!
Santa suits, hats and beards are included in your ticket price and must be worn – No bah humbugs here!
If you have your own Santa suit (inc. hat and beard) and wish to wear it, please do so.
Upon completion of the dash, you will be awarded a completion medal.
Children under 3 are welcome and free to participate, however, we ask that they are in buggies during the dash.
Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult for the entire dash.
Dogs are welcome (one per adult or family) and they must be kept on a shot non-extending lead at all times.
Those wishing to participate who are physically impaired should ring or email ahead of booking to discuss the suitability of the event for them.
We will accommodate everyone where possible, providing we can ensure a safe environment to do so.
The ’after party’
We invite you to hang around for a little while after the dash, to join us for the festive music, photos with Santa in his Sleigh, hot food, the charity raffles, and a well-earned complimentary non-alcoholic mulled wine.
More details to be announced during the year on our Facebook page.
