Story
When we started organising the first Santa Run, we tentatively hoped for 100 participants… we couldn’t believe how popular the event became, with over 300 entrants in our first year. The event has grown, gathering more and more support from the local community along the way. Last year we had 400 entries and raised over £4,000 for the school.
The organisation of the Santa Run is not done by professional event managers, but rather by a team of busy working parents. We benefit hugely thanks to the professional skills of our fantastic supporters, from the artwork, printing and web design, to the first aid and race marshals. We are incredibly grateful to all the wonderful people who give their time and expertise to make the event happen safely and successfully.
We raise money through sponsorship, donations and the race entry fee. We have been delighted with the support we have had from local businesses – please check out our sponsors’ logos below for more details. We keep our costs low, which means we are able to maximise funding for school projects such as the spiritual garden and outdoor learning spaces.
