Santa Run 2022

Published on 13 December 2022 01:29 PM

On Sunday 11 December 2022 we brought the festive spirit to Exmouth with our family friendly Santa Run. A stream of runners dressed as Santa were seen running along Exmouth seafront helping to raise vital funds for older people across Devon.

There were two distances, a 5km and a 2.5km, available to runners.  Both started and finished at Beach Gardens on Queens Drive and travelled along the shared pavements of Exmouth's beautiful seafront.

As part of the entry all participants were provided with either a Santa suit or hat which they were encouraged to wear to transform themselves into the most famous gift giver of all. Everyone received a Santa inspired finishers medal, water bottle and celebratory mince pie when they crossed the finish line.

"Fantastic event that was so well organised and such friendly and encouraging team from the moment we arrived. The beautiful medal at the end was an unexpected bonus not to mention the generous drinks and snacks. So glad to hear they plan to do it next year as I will definitely put it on my calendar."

"Organised really well, lovely route and friendly marshals. Medals were amazing too. Great experience."

We would like to thank all our runners for supporting Age UK Devon.  We look forward to seeing everyone again at next year's event on Sunday 10 December 2023.
