For those looking for the Santa and Elf Run, we are pleased to say the Jingle Jog has replaced it, and is expected to be better than ever!
Come together with family and friends on Sunday 1 December from 11am-2pm for the Dorothy House Jingle Jog.
Our annual Christmas family fun run is back, this year as the Jingle Jog! Bring your Christmas jumpers, Santa hats or festive attire and walk, jog, or run whilst raising funds for Dorothy House.
Walk, jog, or run 2.5km or 5km – fun for all ages!
The event is open to all ages and this year will feature fun activities along the route for those looking for that extra Christmas sparkle. Participants can choose to do one or two loops of the 2.5km route on the day.
The route will start at Winsley Cricket Club and will loop through the village and Hospice grounds.
Sponsorship and tickets
Adult entry (18+) – £7.50

We’re asking each person/family to raise £50 for Hospice Care so we can continue to support families this Christmas.
Ticket options are available below, and if you have a bigger family/group than the Family Entry allows, then please do just add more of the Adult or Child Entries to suit.
FAQs
What happened to the Santa and Elf Run?
This year’s Jingle Jog is very similar to the previous events we’ve hosted under the Santa and Elf Run branding. However this year, with a slight change to the event it felt like the right time to update the whole look and feel. Expect the Jingle Jog to have the same fantastic Christmas spirit and fun for all the family!
What is included with an entry?
An entry into the 2024 Jingle Jog gives you a place to take on the 2.5km route either once or twice, whilst being supported by our wonderful volunteers. For our younger participants, there will also be the chance to complete some festive challenges around the route and by completing all of them you will receive a prize!
Where is the event taking place?
Parking will be available at Dorothy House Hospice in Winsley, after which, participants will be signposted to Winsley Cricket Club, where the start and finish of the Jingle Jog is situated. There is no parking available at Winsley Cricket Club.
Can children under 4 take part?
Absolutely, they don’t need a ticket but do need a responsible adult, so please just bring them along on the day.
