Port Vale 5k & Boomers Santa Hat Run
The event takes place on 14 December 2025 at Vale Park, Stoke-On-Trent. There are two runs and both finish inside the stadium with a lap of the pitch for the 5k and a stadium finish for the fun run. The 5k route goes out along Burslem streets, returns through Sproson Park and finishes in front of the Hamil Road Stand. The Boomer Santa Run is a shorter course that starts by the club shop and finishes inside the stadium in a safe area. All finishers receive a bespoke medal.
Prizes are awarded to the first three men and women, age-group winners (40, 50, 60) and the fastest runner in a Vale top and fastest in an away top. The fun run has prizes for the fastest boy and girl under 16 and the fastest in a Vale top. Volunteers are requested; volunteers receive full training and a free event t-shirt.
