More than 650 participants ran around the Queen’s Park, choosing either a 1.5k or 5k route. Now in its ninth year, the Santa Fun Run was organised by Cannon Events.
Jack Wood, director of income generation at Ashgate Hospice, said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in the Santa Fun Run and to Cannon Events for organising such a fantastic event. Seeing Queen's Park filled with so many Santas was truly heart-warming, and the money raised comes at a crucial time for Ashgate Hospice. This support will help us continue caring for patients and those important to them across North Derbyshire when they need us most.”
Money from sponsorship is still coming in so the total amount has yet to be announced.
