Rotary Santa Run Bennekom

About the race

The Rotary Santa Run Bennekom is a Christmas run and walk in which participants set off dressed as Father Christmas in aid of charity. The whole point is taking part: experienced runners are welcome, but so are walkers and people joining with a pushchair or a walking frame. There are two distances, 7 and 12 kilometres, so you decide whether it becomes a short outing or something more demanding. The start is at the Bart van Elstplantsoen and the event is tied to the Dickens Fair in Bennekom, which makes it more of a December experience than a purely sporting occasion. Every participant receives a Santa suit with a beard, and the proceeds go to a local cause.
