Borth and Aberystwyth RNLI Santa’s Sprint 2024
Santa has got a lifeboat shout! Our crew could be tasked to a rescue at any hour of the day, 365 days a year, and end up ‘sprinting’ along the beach at low tide to the lifeboat station; join Santa this December to do just that!
This year, Aberystwyth and Borth Lifeboat Stations are joining together efforts to hold their first joint ‘Santa’s Sprint!’ fun run this December. As flank stations, Borth and Aberystwyth lifeboats work as a team and likewise are doing the same to bring you this event.

This event is not timed, and in the spirit of Christmas, everyone will be a winner, presented with a medal and a mince pie at the finish. There will be no prizes for coming first but there will however, be a couple of spot ‘presents’ from Santa along the way for those with the most creative Christmas-y outfit!
Taking place along Borth beach, the Santa’s Sprint! is along a virtually flat course with no gates, road crossings or steps, but please be aware the beach is accessed via a shingle bank. The event is free for those under 3 years of age (please still book them a ticket). Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult (not necessarily participating). It is also free of charge to anyone attending as a registered carer for a participant. Carers must still book a ticket but will not be charged.
