The Lincoln Santa Fun Run is not just a great festive fun event for the city and county. It also is a great fundraiser for local charities and good causes. In 2024 the event raised over £ 26,000 for charity.
You can make a difference for so many this Christmas by
Supporting one of our partner charities to raise much needed funds. When you select a charity to support we will pass your contact details (name and email) to the charity who will contact you regarding fundraising and teams, we will also donate a minimum of £10 to the charity (subject to available funds and to a maximum of 40 adult entries per charity).
Supporting our FoodBank Donation Point on the day in Minster Yard (near our finish). This winter will again be a challenge for so many families. We are asking every participant and spectator to bring along one item of food which should be non-perishable, in date and unopened. This foodbank donation point is provided by the Lincolnshire Community Larder. Click on the button below to see what is most in need:

The Lincoln Santa Fun Run is organised by The Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia. After event costs are covered all remaining money is donated to charities and good causes in the following year (2026). See all the good causes we have helped in recent years here. We also have a number of places on the Santa Fun Run kindly donated to be gifted on to families with young children who cannot afford to enter this year. If you can’t choose for our partner charities you can also make a donation to our charity which we will share with deserving charities and good causes in 2026.
