Tips & Advice

  • Register online in advance, because your entry includes the Santa suit you wear on the route and a special children's suit for kids.
  • Collect your suit ahead of time at Koole Sport on Armeniaans Schuitvlot, or pick it up at the Kloveniersdoelen on the day of the run.
  • Arrive in time for the warm-up with DJ Sam and Rudolph in the Kloveniersdoelen garden, after which everyone walks together to the start on the Langeviele bridge.
  • If you kept last year's Santa suit, wear it again and join without registering by making a donation through the voluntary donation button.
  • Bring the family, your class or your team, since the roughly 3-kilometre route suits children and you can walk instead of run.

Special Events & Promotions

  • This year's run raises money for Stichting Urgente Noden Middelburg.
  • If you still have a Santa suit from last year, you can join without registering by donating through the voluntary donation button.
