Mini Athletics Fun Run with Santa

Mini Athletics Fun Run with Santa is at Yarborough Leisure Centre on Saturday 5 December, from 14:15 to 15:15. It's a festive afternoon for children and their families, and the whole thing is built around the athletics track: every 400m lap earns a sticker on a running card, so the more laps they manage, the more stickers they collect.

The hour is packed with more than just the running. It kicks off with Santa's Guard of Honour, followed by a 'Wake Up Santa' warm-up to get everyone moving. Then comes the main event: a 20-minute window to run, jog, or walk around the track at whatever pace suits. After that, there's Santa's Medal Presentation and a photo with Santa to take home. If your little one is under six, they'll need an adult to accompany them on the track.

It's a 60-minute session, so it's a contained afternoon out rather than a long day. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, with prices between £2.88 and £13.70 depending on what you're booking. Yarborough Leisure Centre is on Riseholme Road, Lincoln, LN1 3SP.
