Port Vale 5k & Boomers Santa Hat Run

Port Vale 5k & Boomers Santa Hat Run is a charity running event at Vale Park, Stoke, in aid of the Port Vale Foundation. The program offers two races: a 5km main run and a shorter Boomer Santa Run, both finishing inside the stadium. The 5km route starts at Vale Park, goes along Burslem streets, returns via Sproson Park, and includes a lap of the pitch before finishing in front of the Hamil Road Stand.

All finishers receive a bespoke medal with optional t-shirt and a Santa hat upgrade. Prizes cover podium places, age groups, and fastest in Vale/away tops. A festive Vale fan zone with stalls, games, food, bar, and shop enhances the day.

Capacity 500; minimum age 11 for the 5k. Date: 14 July 2025. Prices: Fun Run £5; 5k £12/£14; UKA-affiliated discounts; Santa hat £2; t-shirt £9.99.
