Walk, Run, or Roll to the North Pole!

Help us travel 2,433 miles from Durham to Santa’s home by Christmas — and raise £1 for every mile!

Winter is Tough — But Together We Can Make It Brighter

Dark days, cold weather, and low motivation can take their toll — especially on mental health. At RTProjects, we use creativity, community, and compassion to help people through difficult times.

This winter, we’re getting moving — and turning every mile into a lifeline.

The Challenge

We’re starting from The Open Art Studio in Gilesgate, Durham, and aiming to reach Santa’s home in the North Pole (2,433 miles!) by Christmas Day.

You can join us — walk, run, cycle, swim, skate, paddle, or even dance your way to a few festive miles. Every step counts!
