2025 - You’re all record breakers!
Thank you to all our wonderful Santas who took part in this year’s Stamford Santa Fun Run. We really hope you enjoyed being part of a record-breaking day with 1700 of you streaming around our 3 courses in Burghley Park. It’s always an amazing sight to see and, hopefully, it starts the lead up to Christmas for you. Even the weather behaved itself - a few days before and the forecasts looked very wet for the day (although by the time our team had packed everything away for another year, we were somewhat damp. But nothing that some refreshments in our favorite Stamford pub couldn’t fix!)
Apart from being a record for the size of the crowd, we are also expecting it to be a record for us for the amount raised for our 3 charities. We haven’t finished doing the sums yet but keep an eye on our social media / our website / local press and we’ll let you know as soon as we can.
We introduced some new bits this year - the Real Santa visited us in his sleigh, the Race Village was enlarged and moved slightly to its new location, and we had more coffee vans, food vans and a bar. Please do let us know if you liked it and any ideas we might consider, as we are always looking for improvement. Just email us using the “Contact Us”.
