The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run is a festive charity run and walk organised by the Rotary clubs of Skipton in North Yorkshire. Starting and finishing on Skipton High Street, the event brings together families, friends and community groups to raise money for local charities and good causes.
The main 5K route takes participants through the streets of Skipton, Aireville Park and Skipton Woods, combining town roads with woodland and parkland paths. A shorter 3K route offers an accessible option for walkers, wheelchair users and families, following a circuit through Aireville Park before returning to the High Street.
The event welcomes participants aged six and over, with a Santa T-shirt included in entry and a commemorative medal for finishers. Taking place ahead of Skipton's Christmas lights switch on, the fun run supports Sue Ryder Manorlands and other local and Rotary charities, making it a popular part of the town's festive celebrations.
