Take Two For Alnwick's Santa Run
Get dressed up and take part in the this year's Alnwick Santa Fun Run...
On Sunday 1 December 2024, Alnwick will be a sea of red, as hundreds of Santas take part in the second edition of the Alnwick Santa Fun Run. There will be two distances available to those taking part - one approximately 2.5K and the other just under 5K, the exact routes are still to be confirmed, but they will be similar to last year.
Organisers say: "We started the event in 2023 to raise funds for our son's rugby tour and we loved it so much, we're doing it again. Our vision for 2024 is to create an event, which is a platform that brings together teams and clubs, family and friends from all over North Northumberland to raise funds for their club/team/trip/or a charity of their choice, whilst having some festive fun."
Your entrance fee includes a Santa hat, an Alnwick Santa Fun Run 2024 t-shirt and finishers medal. There will be entertainment provided by North Tyneside Steelband as well as a small Christmas fayre inside and outside the club house at Alnwick RFC. Those taking part can also enjoy funfair rides and hot food and drink stalls - all in all a great family day out.
By taking part you have the opportunity to use the event as a way to raise sponsorship and funds for your chosen charity, or your sports team and club. And if you don't want to raise any sponsorship just by taking part you are supporting our chosen charities The Wooden Spoon and the Great North Air Ambulance Service.
