The Hogarth Santa Run returns for a festive riverside route

The Hogarth Club’s annual charity Santa Run returns on Sunday 6 December, with a 7.5km riverside route taking in Barnes and Hammersmith bridges

Guest blog by Daniel Moir, The Hogarth Club

The route: Santas by the river

This year’s route takes in two West London landmarks, Barnes Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge, following the Thames along the way.

Marshals will be stationed around the course to keep participants on track and cheer them on. Whether you’re a fast Santa, a slow Santa or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome.

The 7.5km route can be tackled however you like. Run it, walk it, jog it or simply take your time and enjoy the views.
