Meriden Santa Fun Run - 5K

The Meriden Santa Fun Run sends participants around the deer park at Packington Hall Estate on a course that measures about 5 km. The ground underfoot is mostly hard surface and the profile stays largely level, with just a few undulations to break the rhythm. Signage and stewards point the way from the entrance, through the parking area and around the estate, and first aiders are on hand throughout the day. Every entrant receives a Santa suit to wear during the run, a medal at the finish and bottled water, and runners are encouraged to raise sponsorship for Rotary-supported local charities or for a cause of their own choosing. Registration is available online or by mail, with fees listed separately for adults and children, and dogs are welcome as long as they stay on a leash.
