Festive Fun Day - Utilize

Tickets for Utilize employees

Join us for our Festive Fun Day, including the festive-filled ‘Run Santa, Run’ – which is a choice of a 2k or 4k route, ‘Doggy Dash’ and more!

For the Santa Run, adults will receive a Santa suit and Children will get Reindeer Antlers. The Santa Run will start at 11am with registration from 10am where you can collect your festive outfit. 

New for this year’s event, the Doggy Dash is one lap of the Santa Run route. The 2K lap is £5 per dog to enter and will take place at 2pm, giving doggy owners the chance to take part in the Santa Run before the doggy dash later that afternoon. We will have a prize for the first dog and owner back and the best-dressed dog.

At our Festive Fun Day, there will also be an elf trail with a chance to visit Santa’s Grotto. Follow clues around the route before a visit to see Santa in his grotto. Tickets will be available on the day to visit Santa; card and cash will be accepted.
