Welcome to the website of The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run

The first Skipton Santa Fun Run took place in 2010, comprising a 5 kilometre route around Skipton, starting and finishing at Aireville Park.  400 runners, joggers and walkers young and old took part in the inaugural event, to raise money for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, Martin House Hospice and other local charities 

Last year, the 14th Great Skipton Santa Fun Run, saw the streets of Skipton turned red  by 1848 Santas, running, walking and wheel-chairing  5km or 3km routes, starting from Skipton High Street and taking in Aireville Park and Skipton Woods before finishing back on the High Street, to raise money for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and other local charities.

Over the last 14 years, we have raised nearly £500,000
