Charity Run with a Santa Theme
For 13 years, the non-profit organization Together We Make a Change has organized the Stockholm Santa Run charity event. The event is run entirely by volunteers, and all participants dress up in Santa costumes and run, walk, or jog a 3–6 km route through central Stockholm.
All proceeds go directly to charity. Since its start in Kungsträdgården, the event has attracted between 1,500 and 1,800 participants each year. The funds raised support Aktivisfonden and Hugo Stiftelse, which help children and young people with disabilities.
The project has grown every year and is now 10 times bigger than when it started in 2013. Following the great success of Stockholm Santa Run, we are more inspired than ever to take the next step and bring this festive winter tradition to new heights across Sweden — now in new locations, including Sundsvall. Through a new collaboration with Runacademy, we also offer Santa Social Runs in many different locations throughout Sweden.
“Together we are stronger” is something we have always believed in, and we are very happy about our collaboration with Aktivisfonden and Hugo Stiftelse. Together, we can help even more children and young people with disabilities enjoy a more active and inclusive everyday life.
“Together, we support Aktivisfonden and Hugo Stiftelse, making a real difference in the everyday lives of children and young people with disabilities.”
We’re celebrating 13 years of joy, community, and winter magic! 🎅🏃♂️🎉
In 2013, in the beautiful Tantolunden park in the heart of Stockholm, a tradition was born that would bring warmth and laughter to the cold winter months. Now, 13 years later, it’s time to celebrate this incredible journey and relive the joy that Stockholm Santa Run has brought to us all.
Stockholm Santa Run is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of outdoor activities and community during the winter months. Winter doesn’t have to be grey and gloomy; it can be filled with joy, colour, and warmth when we come together as a strong community.
This year, we promise to make Stockholm Santa Run 2026 the most memorable experience yet. Dressed in red and accompanied by Christmas songs, we’ll come together to create a colourful and festive event in the heart of the darkest season.
Let’s make the 2026 Stockholm Santa Run an anniversary celebration we’ll remember forever!

Important 1:
The organizers of the event will not take out any economical benefit of the money raised since the idea of the run is to help people that need it more. That’s why we will try to keep all the costs as low as possible, so there will be no unnecessary fancy things. After the race, each participant will get a diploma emailed to them with the result of the total money that was raised from the run, and where it went. You will also receive a medal.
