Welcome
As the Christmas Season fast approaches, we invite you to join in the Fun and enter the fifth Stamford Santa Fun Run at Burghley Park on Sunday 11 December 2011 commencing at 11.00.a.m.
Last year, 41 Teams entered and raised in excess of £26,000 for their own individual causes or charities. Total participants were 793 and we hope to break 1000 this year.
Santa Fun Run 2010
Once again we invite teams to enter. Remember, you get to keep all the sponsorship money you raise as a group. Alternatively, enter as an individual and raise sponsorship money for our Rotary Club selected charities which this year are as follows: Locally, supporting the Carer Sitter Service in Stamford; Internationally, continuing support for Polio Eradication in the world, providing Life Straws, a water purification system to drought areas and contributing to the Send a Cow project which helps African families out of poverty.
This is an event for all ages and abilities and is a thoroughly enjoyable day for participants and spectators alike. As well as serious runners, we welcome joggers, walkers and wheelchair users as well; we even accept dogs - with their owners of course!
Entry fees remain at £12 for adults and £6 for children 15 years of age and under. (Children 4 and under are free to enter but no suit will be issued). The fee includes a free Santa Suit, inclusive of hat and beard, which is yours to keep. All entrants will receive a medal on completion of the course.
For details on how to enter and pay on-line, to download sponsorship forms and to find out all other information, follow the respective links at the top of this page.
We have set up a group on Facebook - Stamford Santa Fun Run - that keeps you up to date with the latest news and also what we are up to; so if you Facebook, come and join us, and if you don't this is a good excuse to start!
If you would like to support one of the biggest events of the season, contact us.

Stop Press

Entrance to Burghley Park.
We have been advised by Burghley Park that they wish to change the entrance to the park for the Santa Fun Run on Sunday.
So whilst we shall still use the same car park field, rather than entering through the Station gate, we will on Sunday enter through the big double white gates, opposite Newage, about half a mile further down the Barnack Road away from Stamford. The Station Gate will remain locked and only those on foot will be able to access that way. The car park and event areas can now be reached by driving diagonally up across the car park field from the bottom end. Visitors will then park where they parked last year.
