When do I get my Santa Suit? Expand Santa suits will be provided once you register on the night of the event.
I’m not from London, could I get lost on route? Expand We will give you a link to the route on Google Maps prior to the event and provide you with a printed route map and directions.

What should I wear? Expand Please come in weather appropriate clothing and comfortable trainers, as we will be going ahead come rain or shine! We have been told that Santa suits do keep you warm so we would advise a thin layer of clothing underneath them.
