THE final countdown has begun to Skipton's fifth Santa Fun Run.

Organised by Skipton Craven Rotary Club, it will be staged next Sunday, November 30.

It will start at Aireville Park at 11am and will follow a five-kilometre route around the town.

Last year's event attracted more than 1,200 runners and walkers and raised nearly £30,000 for local charities.
