On Sunday, 6 December, Santa suits will fill Kungsträdgården as Stockholm’s annual charity run returns. Come with friends, bring the family, or join on your own. You can walk a 3 km loop through the Old Town or run two laps for 6 km. The event runs from 11:00 to 14:00.
1. Book your ticket and choose your outfit
The organiser sells tickets through Billetto, where the event is listed from SEK 69. Choose a ticket with a Santa suit included, or select a ticket without a suit and bring your own. Each ticket includes a race bib and a medal. Register every child taking part, and make sure anyone under 14 is accompanied by a parent or guardian.

4. Take one lap or go around twice
The route leads through Gamla Stan and Slussen before returning to Kungsträdgården. Choose one lap for 3 km or two laps for 6 km. Walk, jog, or run at a pace that works for you. Back in Kungsträdgården, collect your medal and take a group photo while everyone is still in their Santa suits.
5. Meet the charities behind the run
The volunteer-run event is organised by Together We Make a Change. This year’s proceeds support Aktivisfonden and Hugo Stiftelse, which help children and young people with disabilities lead more active and inclusive lives.
