Record entry for Great Skipton Santa Fun Run

The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run took place on Sunday 1st December 2013 and this 4th year of the event had a record number of runners, a staggering 1218! It is expected that this will result in a record amount of money raised for local charities, although the exact amount is not known until mid February when all sponsorship monies have been collected. Last year under 1000 runners generated a staggering £17,000 so we are optimistic about raising more this year.

The event was organised by Skipton Craven Rotary Club and as I am a member it is only natural that Towler & Staines have a role. We provided over 600 cups of tea and coffee to the tired runners at the end. We used 3 Burco Dean Urns powered by Calor Gas. Come to think of it this a fairly unusual Calor application and could have been a worthy entry for our current competition on Facebook!
