The Keepthebeat Santa event is a fun charity bike ride, run or walk, which has delighted many a participant and spectator since its inception in 2011. The 7-mile cycle route is a mix of off-road bridleways, tracks and road sections, suitable for mountain/hybrid/bmx type bikes. It is possible to complete the route on other less suitable type bikes but be prepared to walk with your bike on parts of the off-road route! The shorter 3-mile running/walking route is on pavement/road and cross-country. Please note that the walk/run route is not suitable for pushchairs. Dogs on leads are welcome. Refreshments will be available at the finish. Each entrant will be provided with a Santa suit or elf suit (limited numbers for children), which must be worn at all times.

The entry fee is £10 this is payable to Keepthebeat. Cycling entrants must be 16 or over on the day of the event. Juniors must be accompanied by a full paying adult.

We would like everyone taking part to try and raise at least £20.18 which will go directly to Keepthebeat (Registered Charity 1143119) who give hope and support to those affected by congenital heart defects. If you raise £50 or more you will be entitled to claim a Keepthebeat hoodie in the new year. You can download a sponsorship form here!
