Charity Santas On The Run

Scorpio staff joined in the annual Santas On The Run dash on Sunday 1st December 2013 at Stockeld Park, Wetherby to raise funds for Martin House Hospice in Clifford, near Wetherby, West Yorkshire.
Not only does this event raise vital funds for a worthy charity, it is a great morning - filled with the festive spirit and has a great community atmosphere enjoyed by all age groups and families.
Matt Holland, Managing Director at Scorpio said, "I look forward to this run every year, it raises essential funds for Martin House and everyone who gets involved. enters into the Christmas spirit. My family and colleagues are proud to support the great work done by Martin House"


This year there were approximately 450 Santas on the run, the morning was beautiful and everyone who took part had a great time.
The course is based at Wetherby's Stockeld Park and takes in 5 laps of the enchanted forest which is approximately 6km. The event is well organised and welcomes all runners of all abilities.
As a company, we encourage our staff to enter into community based events and to help raise funds for charities such as, Martin House.
