Get ready to jingle all the way through St Albans as the Rudolph Run returns on Sunday, December 7, bringing festive cheer and family fun to the city’s streets – all while raising vital funds for local hospice care.
Hosted by Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, this annual festive event invites families, friends, and festive fanatics of all ages to don their antlers, pull on their brightest Christmas jumpers, and take part in a 1.5km or 5km fun run starting at the Waterend Barn on St Peter’s Street.
To add to the festive fun, a face painter will be on hand to help runners look the part and prizes will be awarded to the best dressed adult, child and canine companion!
Rudolph Run
Angela Doran from St Albans is taking part in this year’s Rudolph Run along with 10 members of the walking netball group she runs, in memory of one of the group’s members who sadly died last year.
Angela said: “After our friend, Alison, died last year, a member of our walking netball group suggested organising a fundraising event in her memory. We asked which charity Alison’s family would like us to support and they explained that Rennie Grove Peace had been wonderful in caring for Alison at the end of her life.
No products found.
“Our walking netball group is made up of people ranging in age from 40 to 80 so we wanted to choose a fundraising event that would suit everybody. The members decided on the Rudolph Run and we’re looking forward to taking part as ‘Ali’s All-stars’.

Anybody who raises over £99 will earn a limited-edition Rudolph Run running buff…
