Following the huge success of the first ever Ashby Santa Fun Run and Walk last Christmas, the fun returns on 4th December this year and Ashby Life are extremely proud to once again be sponsoring the event.
The Rotary Club of Ashby Castle who own and promote the Santa Fun Run aim to make this an annual event enabling the community to part of the fun but also supporting local charities.
Last December 625 Santa’s congregated on the Bath Grounds for a warm up with Fitness Republic before setting off en masse around the 3km route. It was a sight to behold with Santa’s of all ages and entire families walking and running through the streets.
The Ashby Santa Fun Run and Walk is by no means a traditional race with no race numbers or times recorded. More than anything this is a Christmas family event which brings together the whole town. The 3km route starts and finishes at the Bath Grounds and is flat and family friendly so suitable for everyone.
Last year’s numbers surpassed everyone’s expectations and over £6,000 was raised for charity, the majority of which went to local charity; Hospice Hope. This year’s run will again be raising much needed funds for Hospice Hope and a number of other local charities through the Rotary Club.
Entry to the event is just £10 for adults (16 and over) and just £5 for under 16's. The entry fee includes your Santa suit, beard, hat and a medal upon completion of the fun run and walk.
