The race
About this course
The Santa Run held at Bomb Point features a scenic 5km course that loops around Catalina Bay, renowned for its natural beauty. This event is characterized by its festive atmosphere, with every adult participant receiving a Santa suit, creating a vibrant and colorful scene of participants dressed as Santas. Children under 12 can join for free if accompanied by an adult and are encouraged to dress as Christmas Elves, adding to the festive spirit.
The event also serves a charitable purpose, with proceeds benefiting Hospice West Auckland. This adds a community-focused aspect to the race, uniting participants in a shared cause. Additionally, the event includes various spot prizes, such as flights to Fiji, contributed by local sponsors supporting the hospice.
The Santa Run is not only a fun and engaging family event but also an opportunity for community members to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a unique holiday-themed gathering.
