Information about the run

1.For the good cause!

2.For fun: running or walking together in a Christmas atmosphere with friends, family, colleagues; dressed as Santa Claus/Mrs.

It is a fun and original event that all residents of Delft and people from surrounding municipalities will certainly want to participate in.

The beautiful old city centre of Delft in a Christmas atmosphere is the perfect environment for people running around in red and white Christmas costumes.

SantaRuns have been organized in several places in the Netherlands for several years, and now for the fourth year in Delft. But the enthusiasm of our clubs, residents, companies, schools, sponsors and the municipality promises it will become an annual tradition.

In 2024 the charities are: De Kinderboerderij Buyten Delft & Het Hospice Delft.

With the contributions of the participants and sponsors we try to collect as much money as possible. In 2019 and 2022 we raised 10,000 euros twice! In 2020 and 2021 the Santa Run unfortunately did not take place due to the COVID-19 virus.

Of course! The charities can use all contributions. If you want to have your performance sponsored by friends, parents or colleagues, we welcome your contribution with open arms. We will gladly receive your contribution on account NL39 INGB 0663 9476 34 in the name of Stichting Community Service Rotary Club Delft-Vermeer. You can also donate extra via the registration form!

No, you can only participate in the Christmas suit purchased from us. Or the suit from last year but with a recent starting number. That not only makes it extra fun but also visible that you contribute to our goal!

Anyone who can walk. Age doesn't matter. How young or old you are is unimportant. How fast or hard you can run is even less important. It's all about having fun. Even a walking pace is allowed, as long as you're at the finish line at 3:30 PM! So whether you're 6, 16, 36 or 86, sign up and join in! With your friends, family, colleagues, team or classmates or any other fun group you can think of.

See above. NO, there is no age limit. As long as you can complete the 3 kilometers within an hour.

€15.00 for adults, €10.00 for children. For that you get a Santa Claus suit to run the SantaRun. You also get a starting number (sticker). You can keep the suit! At the finish everyone gets a medal as a souvenir.

With pleasure! Each company or team can register as many people as it wants. Each participant will receive a Santa Claus suit from the SantaRun Delft.
We do not give discounts for groups; we would like to see everyone contribute equally to the charity.
There is also a possibility to sponsor the Rotary SantaRun. Please contact us!

We will gather at 13:15 on the Burgwal and start the warm-up at 13:45. The starting signal is at 14:00 with the announcement of the amount raised. We expect the last participants at 15:30 at the finish where there will be a closing speech. But we will continue after that!

There are 2 sizes: 1 for children (up to approx. 135 cm), 1 for adults. If you already have a suit from last year and want to reuse it; just pick up your starting number, then we will make sure that your suit gets a good destination!
