Saturday, December 19, 2026 On Saturday, December 19, the center of Den Burg will once again be red during the fourth edition of the Rotary Santa Run Texel. Hundreds of cheerful Santas—runners and walkers alike—will cover a surprising three-kilometer route through the village. And what's more, the route not only runs through the streets but also right through several buildings. The start and finish are at Cinema Texel. Starting at 3:00 PM, the Santas will gather there for a festive warm-up. Participation costs €15 for adults and €10 for children, including a Santa costume, medal, and a drink afterward. All proceeds will go to a local charity: this year, it's the (young) caregivers on Texel, who are there for others all year round and deserve a helping hand. The costumes can be picked up at the Gamma supermarket in Den Burg on Saturday morning between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. To promote sustainability, the organizers encourage participants to reuse their Christmas costumes from previous editions, if possible. Time: 3:00 PM Location: Cinema Texel, both the start and finish point Cost: €15 per adult and €10 per child. Registration: texel.rotarysantarun.nl
