Santa's Fun Run

Sun, Dec 1st 2019 at 9:30 am - 11:30 am

A record £46,919 was raised for good causes with over forty charities benefiting. Wyycombe Homeless Connection and Bucks Mind shared over £12,000.


A record-breaking 3,000 runners entered - a spectacular sight to behold.  The lead sponsor was the Shanly Foundation and the warm-up leader and starter was Naomi Riches MBE

In addition to the two main charities, many runners supported organisations independently making this the biggest single charity fund raising event in the area.  Wycombe Stroke Unit, Thames Valley Adventure Playground, Lane End Youth and Community Association, Horizon Sports Club, Marlow Opportunity Playgroup, One Can Trust, Thames Valley Air Ambulance, Young Carers, Bucks Headway, Rivertime Accessibility Trust, Shelterbox and Sepsis Trust were amongst those receiving funds.
