On December 9, 2023 Shekou was once again turned into a sea of Santas for the Husky Santa Run, with some serious festive style on display; and what a day it was!439 registered Santas and 43 volunteers (including 7 HUSKY and 30 SCIE volunteers) arrived to run or marshal the 6KM and 3KM course around Shenzhen Bay in red shirts and Santa hats, in a tremendous show of support for the work we do.
2023 年12 月 9 日，蛇口渔港中心公园景区内人流如潮，数百名参赛运动员身穿红色圣诞老人服饰，摩拳擦掌，热情高涨，在欢快热烈的气氛下拉开Captivating 第五届圣诞老人慈善跑活动的序幕，多么美好的一天！
439名参赛者，43名义工（7 名来自 HUSKY，30 名来自 SCIE）穿戴节日盛装，顺沿深圳湾人行道跑道完成 3 公里/ 6 公里趣味赛跑，支持 Captivating，支持公益慈善事业。
This overwhelming response from the Shenzhen community, for Captivating’s 5th Annual Santa Run, once again leaves us speechless. With COVID restrictions behind us we were delighted that so many of the community came out again and it was a joy to see both spectators and partakers enjoying themselves in the Christmas spirit!
After the event, all children were able to meet Santa himself, the amazing Glenn Ball, and each received a gift, courtesy of our event partner ZURU. This wonderful day was then brought to a close with all our festive favourites sung by the amazing choir from The King’s School Qianhai Shenzhen International!
We’d like to thank all who participated in the event, with special congratulations to the Santa Run winners, who received medals and prizes on the podium.
深圳社区对此次活动的积极回应与支持，令我们深深感动，感恩之心无以言表；不再有特殊限制，我们十分欣慰地看到参与者与场外观众尽情享受圣诞节的欢乐时光！
比赛结束后，所有参赛儿童见到了圣诞老人格里恩·勃，并收到他派发的精美礼物。礼品是由Captivating 活动伙伴ZURU公司提供。伴随着来自深圳前海国王国际学校合唱团演唱的经典圣诞颂歌，本场圣诞慈善跑活动圆满结束。
我们感谢所有参赛者，并特别祝贺获得奖品，奖牌的获奖者。
The HUSKY Santa Run raises money to support the work of Captivating and its Chinese registered charity partners through the Shenzhen Charity Federation. Programs include educational support for young girls, financial support for Volunteer Teachers Program, and The Pigs, Poultry and Prosperity Program, which provides some of the most underprivileged the potential to grow a business, and lift themselves out of poverty.
通过深圳市慈善会，圣诞老人慈善跑活动募集资金支持Captivating及其在中国注册的慈善合作伙伴的救助工作。慈善项目包括支持年轻女孩完成高中或职业教育，送志愿者教师支教，家禽饲养，帮助贫困家庭摆脱困境。
