Many thanks to all our wonderful Santas for making the Stamford Santa Fun Run 2024 a great day. We loved seeing all of you decked out in red, warming up with Paul, then warming up under Colin’s festive flamethrowers, and finally streaming off in a river of red around our 3 routes. We hope you had as good a day as we did and look forward to seeing you next year. We’ve already started planning, and I know Colin is in his shed working on an even more extravagant opening. We were also heartened to see, despite the weather’s best attempts, that the true British spirit is alive in you all. You came to have fun, and you jolly well did!

We are also very pleased to announce that we have shared the proceeds of the Stamford Santa Fun Run with our three nominated charities - Sue Ryder at Thorpe Hall, Mindspace Stamford and the Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley. A whopping £25,000 was raised by you, as our entrants, and our very generous sponsors. Thank you all very much indeed.
