Santa Shuffle Fun Run & Elf Walk 2025 - London

The Santa Shuffle began 34 years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, as a fundraiser supporting local Salvation Army initiatives. Now a national event across every Canadian province, it features a 5km Fun Run and a 1km Elf Walk that welcome all ages and skill levels. Funds raised directly aid Salvation Army programs in local communities.

The London event takes place on the Fanshawe College campus streets and includes festive pre-race activities like live entertainment and warm-ups. This family-friendly, untimed fun run encourages participants to dress in festive attire and celebrate the holiday spirit while supporting a great cause.
