The Stamford Santa Fun Run fills the grounds of Burghley Park with festive colour as participants of all ages gather in Santa costumes for a Christmas celebration. Set against the historic Burghley House estate, the event welcomes families, friends, walkers and runners while raising money for local charities.
Participants can choose from three traffic free routes: the 1 mile Elves Escape, 2 mile Reindeer Run or 3 mile Santa Special. The courses follow mainly tarmac and gravel paths with a short section of meadow grass, allowing runners to explore the parkland at their preferred pace. Each route starts and finishes in the same event village, making it easy for groups of different abilities to take part together.
Festive music and a group warm up create a lively atmosphere before the start, with Santa suits adding to the spectacle throughout the park. Finishers receive a medal and seasonal refreshments, including mince pies and mulled wine for adults, rounding off a welcoming community event with a charitable purpose.
