Can you Race Santa to the North Pole to help children this Christmas?!

By the 31st January we need you to Race Santa to the North Pole (not literally, we appreciate there's certain restrictions at the moment), but virtually, by clocking up the distance as a team to collectively get as close to The Pole as you can.

Walk, run or cycle to get your kilometres in, share your Just Giving page to fundraise what you can and together we can Race Santa the 4,280KM from London back to his grotto. The bigger distance you cover the more money you could raise so get together with your teams and other colleagues to get involved and make a difference. Why not go head to head with other teams to see who can get the furthest and raise the most?

2020 has been unbelievably difficult for so many people across the UK, but Barnardo's has still been supporting the most vulnerable children in your local area. By taking on Race Santa you could help us take the edge of this Christmas and make 2020 one to be remembered for something magical. Its also great for you to get out in the fresh air, get exercising and take some time to focus on your mental health and wellbeing too.

Congratulations....

You did it Salesforce Team, you took on Race Santa - well done! It turns out Santa is a spritely fellow and even though he beat you this time you did manage to make it a whopping 611.39 miles (983.9km) which is incredible! This takes you to Yell, one of the three most northerly islands in the Shetland Isles, you can find out more about the beautiful Yell, your final stop on your virtual route here. Huge congratulations team! Well done!

2 days to go...

... and you've made it to Shetland, that's an incredible 595.25 miles (957.96km) with the final weekend to get those miles we're rooting for you to get as close to the North Pole as you can, good luck!

The Final 4 Days...

With just 4 days left of the challenge you have made it all the way to the top of the UK Mainland, John O'Groats - just picture yourself by that famous sign post. However many more miles you do now you'll be dipping your toes in the (virtual) North Sea. 503miles (810km) covered in total with 4 days left.

11 days left....

...and you're already at Aberdeen! What an amazing achievement, that's just over 398 miles (641km) from London. There's not too many more miles before we cross the water from the UK into Scandinavia... you've got this team, well done!

You're over the Forth Bridge...

You're just passed North Queensferry, which means you'll have just run/ walked/ cycled over the Forth Bridge - what a fabulous view! You're 339.81miles (564KM) in to this race, with just over two weeks left, you can do this!

You've been busy....

That restful break has done you all the world of good as we are now a whopping 322miles (518km) into our journey, that means we're not far from Edinburgh, to be precise we're at Gorebridge. Well done team!

Twas the night before Christmas...

everyone was quiet as a lamb, as the Salesforce Race Santa Team approached Nottingham.... Well done everyone! That's 106.66 miles (171.65KM)

We're 10 days in...

... and the team have been working hard adding those miles, so far the team are over 50 miles away from London and heading North, so they are roughly at St Neots, Cambridgeshire. Well done everyone - 53.35 miles down and 2,660.65 miles to go! (that's 85.85km down 4,194.15km to go!)
