Businesses across Sutton Coldfield are being invited to support this year’s Sutton Santa Run, which will raise money for two local mental health charities.
The popular festive fundraising event returns to Sutton Park on Sunday 6 December 2026, bringing together runners, walkers, families and local businesses for a Christmas-themed 5K.
Organised by SE Fitness Running & Walking Club, the event will start at Town Gate at 10am.
Now in its third year, the Sutton Santa Run will raise funds for Acacia Family Support and Our Place Support, two organisations providing important support to people and families experiencing mental health difficulties.
Last year’s event raised almost £6,000 for the charities, and organisers are hoping to build on that success in 2026.
Local businesses invited to get involved
The organisers are particularly keen to encourage businesses across Sutton Coldfield to support the event through sponsorship.
Opportunities start at £100, making it possible for businesses of different sizes to participate.
Companies can also encourage staff members to join the run, bringing colleagues together for a festive activity while supporting worthwhile local causes.
The event has particular significance for Acacia Family Support, which has been selected as the Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber of Commerce’s charity of the year for 2026–2028.
A festive event for everyone
The Sutton Santa Run welcomes participants of different ages and abilities, whether they prefer running, jogging or walking.
Christmas fancy dress is encouraged, with prizes planned for the best-dressed individual and family.
The event offers an opportunity to enjoy Sutton Park during the festive season while helping two charities continue their work in the local community.
