Manchester United Santa Run
MUFC Santa RunA huge thank you to all of the wonderful Santas and their little helpers who took part in the 2009 Manchester United Santa Run!
Over 160 Christie Santas joined Fred the Red and Christie Bear in donning their running shoes and racing around the hallowed turf on 6th December. We thank each and every one of you for braving the winter’s cold to be a part of what we hope you’ll agree was a fantastic day.
The event started with Fred the Red and Christie Bear kicking off the Serious Santas that were lined up to run the 5km route. This was followed by the family run which saw hordes of Santas race around the shorter 2km route. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and members of the reserve squad kicked off this final race and the atmosphere was fantastic as the sea of Chris Cringles prepared to make the run around the famous stadium. This year, both races finished with a lap inside the stadium itself and there was even time for a photo of all of the Santas in the stands!
