The much-anticipated Saddleworth Santa Dash returned on Saturday 7 December spreading festive cheer throughout the community, and raising funds for local charities.  Despite the wintery weather, the event drew a record turnout, with runners of all ages donning Santa suits and festive attire for the annual fun run.  North Ainley Solicitors not only participated but also proudly served as a headline sponsor for this year’s event, reaffirming their commitment to supporting local initiatives.

The 2024 Santa Dash was nothing short of magical.  The streets of Saddleworth came alive with a sea of Santas, elves and reindeer antlers as participants braved the cold to complete the courses.  The event aimed to raise vital funds for local charities, making it a meaningful way to kick off the festive season.  The event was officially started by Kevin Sinfield, whose presence added to the excitement and inspiration of the day.  His support highlighted the importance of community and charitable efforts during the festive season.  North Ainley’s team showed incredible spirit, joining hundreds of other runners despite the drizzle and brisk winds.  With smiles on their faces and a spring in their step, they embodied the community’s resilience and festive enthusiasm.

As headline sponsors, North Ainley Solicitors played a significant role in making the event a success.  The firm’s sponsorship helped cover essential costs, ensuring more proceeds went directly to the benefiting charities.  Special thanks must also go to the Saddleworth Round Table for their fantastic organisation of the event, ensuring every detail ran smoothly.  Their hard work and dedication were pivotal to the day’s success.  Additionally, North Ainley extends its gratitude to the other sponsors whose support contributed to the event’s incredible outcome.

Speaking about the event, Vinesh Mistry, Managing Partner said, “We are thrilled to have been the headline sponsors for this year’s Santa Dash.  Events like these are at the heart of our community, and it’s fantastic to see so many people coming together to support great causes.  Despite the weather, the turnout was amazing, and the spirit of Saddleworth shone brightly.”

With the success of this year’s Santa Dash, the team at North Ainley is already looking forward to next year’s event.  They remain committed to supporting local events and initiatives that bring people together and make a positive impact.
