2009 Sponsors
Q: Does the 50% of the sponsorship money that we donate have to go to a registered charity or can it be donated to a local group who are fund raising?
A:You can donate your half of your sponsorship to whomever you choose. Supporting a local group is a great idea, in actual fact Rotary supports many charities and deserving causes and many of them are not registered charities.
Q: Can children join in? If yes how much would their entrance fee be?
A: The minimum age for entrants is 12 years or over so as to comply with our insurer's conditions. Consequently anyone below that age cannot participate. The entry fee for children under 18 is £10 and applications must be submitted on one of the downloadable entry forms which include parental authorisation.
Q: Do I have to wear the official Santa outfit?
A: You can run in any outfit you want provided it's legal!, but you will only be eligible for a medal or prize if you run in a Santa costume
Q: Can I register to run on the day?
A: Yes you can if places are still available. Don't forget that entry is limited to the first 1000 entries, so we will close registration when that number is reached.
Q: We are taking part in an expedition next year and have to raise £4000 each to fund the trip. We were wondering if the 50% donation to the Rotary's chosen charity is compulsory or if we can focus our sponsorship money onto funding the expedition?
A: The two Rotary clubs who organize the Santa’s Furn Run use it as one of their major fund raising events of the year and this enables us to support many charities and deserving causes. We therefore would like to think that all runners support us by donating at least 50% of the money they raise.
Q: Where can I leave my belongings whilst on the run?
A: There are limited changing facilities in the Park and we do recommend you arrive in your running gear. However we have arranged for a free baggage holding area to be available from 8:30 am in Court Garden. Please note that whilst Rotarians will be on duty we cannot be held responsible for any losses.
Q: Will there be water stations?
A: There will be two -
Q: Is there car parking close by?
A: Yes, a pay and display car park is adjacent to Higginson Park and various other
car parks are close by -
