Skipton Santa Fun Run 2026

The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run, organized by The Rotary Clubs of Skipton and Skipton Craven, promises an enchanting start to the holiday season. Set for Sunday, November 29th, 2026, at 11:00 AM on bustling Skipton High Street, this festive event precedes the town's Christmas Lights switch-on later in the day.
Participants will have the opportunity to support a variety of charitable causes through their participation. This year’s main beneficiaries include Sue Ryder Manorlands and several local Skipton charities, alongside Rotary Club initiatives. The run itself offers two routes: a 5km course that winds around picturesque Aireville Park and Skipton Woods, providing runners with scenic views and an invigorating challenge; and for those preferring to walk or use wheelchairs, there's a shorter 3km route through the park.
The event welcomes individuals aged six years and older of all abilities. It encourages families and community groups to form teams, fostering camaraderie while raising vital funds for their chosen charities. For more detailed information about routes and registration, visit the official website.
The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run not only celebrates the joy of giving but also brings together a vibrant community in support of meaningful causes.
