Over 5,000 Santa Clauses are preparing for the 4th Santa Run on December 27 on the island of Crete. The Santa run combines the ordinary fun event as people run with Santa suits with Cretan hospitality and treats along the way.
The run that had initially been started by a group of friends on the island has been gaining in popularity with just 400 participants in 2011, 1,500 in 2012 and 3,000 in 2013. The benefit run allows participants to have fun and enjoy the festivities while also gathering money for good causes.
The fun run covers a 3.5km distance through the historic and commercial center of Chania. Last year, the run raised 27,147 euros for ELEPAP, KIFAMEA, MEGALOHARI and ORIZONTA – four charities that help children in various health issues.
Participation packages:
a) Single participant 15 € (after the 20/12 participation fee is 20 €)
b) Group participation. You can buy one or more entries for the whole gang and make a group participation! The largest group will be awarded!
c) Donation. The most generous Santa Claus will also be awarded! If you wish to help further the charitable purpose of the Santa Run, you can raise money from friends and acquaintances and to participate in form of a donation, choosing 20 €, 50 €, 100 € or a combination (select amounts cumulatively ) . The largest donation by a participant will be rewarded… begin finding your sponsors and become the most generous Santa Claus of the 2013 Santa Run!
