Stamford Santa Fun Run Postponed - Plan B
We are really sorry to have to cancel the Stamford Santa Fun Run on Sunday 8th December. We can go ahead with the run with pretty much anything the British weather can throw at us - except for very strong winds.
The forecast from the Met Office shows a weather warning for Storm Darragh with winds gusting to 60 mph on Saturday and 45 mph until midday Sunday which means there is a high risk of branches falling off the trees in Burghley estate with the potential for injury. This risk forces Burghley Estates to close the park, until the wind has abated, trees have been checked for damage, and any remedial work has been carried out to make any trees safe. We fully support this decision as we do not want any Santas being hurt in the run up to Christmas.
It has taken much work to get the Santa Fun Run prepped and ready so we do not give in easily.
We have a Plan B.
The Stamford Santa Fun Run will now take place exactly one week later, on Sunday 15th December. All the rest stays the same - same place, same routes, same times, same fun.
Please bear with us next week. Everything we have put into place over the last few months now needs to be replanned in one week. The Elves are used to working to tight deadlines though so we will crack it.
It would really help us though if you could still pick up your Santa suits from BogDog on our two remaining sessions Friday 6th December (3-5.30pm) and Saturday 7th December (10-1pm). Suit Issue will still be available on the day though.
Thank you for your understanding - See you all next week.
Sunday 15th December 11AM Burghley Park
