The Penpol Panthers Bring Holiday Cheer with Their First Santa Run!
The holiday spirit was alive and kicking as the Penpol Panthers hosted their very first Santa Run on December 10th. This festive event saw students, staff, and parents donning Santa hats and reindeer antlers, as a blur of red and white soared through the streets of Hayle.
The Santa Run, which the school plans to make an annual tradition, combines the joy of the season with a love of running. Organised by the school’s running club, the Penpol Panthers, this inaugural event was a smashing success. Over 50 participants laced up their trainers to take part in the spirited dash down to the King George V Memorial Walk.
The Panthers ran a distance according to their ability, ensuring that everyone—from seasoned runners to casual joggers—could join in the festivities.
“It’s amazing to see everyone come together for such a fun event,” said club leader Mr. Pearson. “The Santa Run isn’t just about running; it’s about building community, staying active, and spreading a little holiday magic. We can’t wait to do it again next year!”
The event was made even more joyous with many a well-known Christmas song booming from Mr Stanlake’s boombox-backpack!
Here’s to a successful first Santa Run and to the Penpol Panthers for making this holiday season unforgettable! We can’t wait to see what next year brings.
