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 15th Great Skipton Santa Fun Run, saw the streets of Skipton turned red by 2266 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
In 2024, we raised a whopping £63,585, including sponsorship and anonymous donations and £5,600 from monies raised by and sent direct to, participants’ nominated charities
