Are you thinking about Christmas Yet? Get started with our Santa Suits and Accessories!

We know, we know… Christmas feels like it’s getting earlier and earlier every year, but you feel like you’re still recovering from the last one. Bear with us on this one though - we think you’re going to like our ideas for a bit of festive fun!

What is a Santa Run?

Santa runs are an event similar to a running race between your competitors, except this time, there’s a festive twist! Competitors take part in the run wearing Santa suits or costumes and run around a course, which could start and finish anywhere you like! Whether it’s a 5km race or a leisurely stroll around the park, everyone can get involved. What’s more, Santa events are usually done in aid of charity so not only can you have a bit of fun, but it’s also for a good cause. It doesn’t even have to be a run - any sporting event is perfect for the day. Just make sure you’ve got your Santa suits at the ready! Take a look at some of the events we’ve supplied to in our blog.

When and where can I get tickets for a Santa Run?

There are many Santa events that you can book from now. The length of the course varies depending on the event - there are some courses where you can run 4km or 5km and others where you can run 10km. There’s something for everyone all throughout December, all over the country. Why not help your community by joining in the fun and raising some money as well?

What should you consider for a Santa Run

If you’re planning Santa Run for a charity event, we think there’s a few things that you should consider both before and during the event:

• Runner sponsors - it’s not a charity Santa Run without the sponsors! Create some forms to hand out to your runners so that they can start getting sponsors for their efforts. This means you will be able to create incentives for them, such as prizes or awards. 
• Commercial sponsors - whilst runner sponsors are a great way to raise money, why not try thinking about more commercial sponsors as well? Contact small or large businesses to see if they would sponsor your event. This way, you will also get some exposure and coverage to your event and may encourage others to take part or create their own!
• Merchandise - there’s a perfect opportunity to sell some of your own merchandise too! All in the name of charity, you can sell your own Santa suits, rewards and accessories to raise more money.
