Santa's & Elves help to grant Wishes
Hundreds of Santa’s, Elves and Santa Paws joined Wish Bear and friends in West Princes Street Gardens on Sun 8th Dec
Taking part in our annual flagship fundraising event “The Edinburgh Santa Fun Run & Walk” as we celbrated 20 incredible years of our much loved Festive Fundraiser.
Our Wish granters of all ages dressed up as Santa's or Elves and complete 2 laps after a festive warm up with Calverto, Pure gym & Kirstine with Zumba routines at the Ross Bandstand.
At 11am the award-winning Stockbridge Pipeband officially started the fun run and in a sea of red everyone completed their 2.5k and received their finishers medal and helped to grant magical Wishes.
Thank you to everyone for your support, from participants, local businesses & authority groups and our 60 amazing volunteers on the day, quite simply without your support, guidance & help we just simply couldn't put on this event thank you so so much!
Our Scotland Regional Fundraiser Judith King said:
"Everyone was so excited to be celebrating 20 incredible years of our much-loved festive fundraiser. Over that time, we have seen amazing participants from across the world, from North America to Asia and across the UK join in the fun and help support our magical wish granting work.
We can’t thank everyone enough for their unwavering support to the Edinburgh Santa fun run and walk each year, from the amazing team at Edinburgh’s Christmas and local authority groups to our sponsors, volunteer wish team, and, of course, our participants.”
