----------

Every penny donated will go straight to Challengers, an amazing local charity that provide truly inclusive, fun and safe places where all disabled children and young people can spend time with their friends. 

This is a great opportunity for families and friends to enjoy a winter run around Stoke Park, then finish off with a wander through the Christmas market to enjoy festive food and drinks, activities and gifts.

The kids can even visit Santa in his grotto!

Runners can choose between the 2.5k (fully accessible) or 5k route around the park, with optional chip timing available. Each entrant gets a Santa hat to wear for the run (or a festive bandana for our four-legged friends) and a decoration for the tree when they finish! Why not make it even more special and get our bespoke  Santa or Elf t-shirts to run in? Remember, 100% of donations go to Challengers!

The whole event benefits from matched fundraising through the Big Give Christmas Challenge so all donations will be doubled (unless Challengers hit their fundraising target beforehand!)

We welcome non-runners who just wish to attend the market too! Entrance to the market is free.

The market will be running from 10am-2pm

Advanced sign ups have now closed, but we welcome on the day sign ups! Just head to our registration marquee from 10am.
