RNLI Cleethorpes Reindeer Run 2026

Help save lives at sea this December by joining Rocky the Reindeer for this year's RNLI Reindeer Run and raise vital funds for the RNLI.

The RNLI Cleethorpes Reindeer Run is a fun festive event for the whole family. Everyone is welcome and the course is accessible to all, so whether you want to hop, skip, run or walk, the Reindeer Run is the must-go-to event this Christmas!

With antlers for all runners and a medal for everyone who completes the race, you won't to miss out on this year's event. Choose from our 2k buggy-friendly route suitable for all ages, or a longer 4k (almost) option for more keen runners. Note that the 4k route is approx 200m shorter than a 4k this year, due to restrictions imposed by North East Lincolnshire Council. We hope this won't affect your enjoyment of the event.

Both races start and finish this year at Cleethorpes Lifeboat Station.
