RUNNERS are invited to the county’s biggest Santa dash this December.
Thames Hospice is hosting the group run at Swinley Forest in Bracknell on Sunday, December 5.
Residents can choose to walk or run a 2k (1.24 mile) or 5k (3.1 mile) route, or a more challenging 10k (6.2 mile) running route.
Once everyone has crossed the finish line, the celebrations continue with a Christmas café and Santa’s grotto.
Alison Evans, head of community and events fundraising, said: “This year our Santa Dash is going to be bigger and better than ever before.
“We are so excited to get together with our community again for our favourite festive event. Every penny raised will help families facing a terminal illness get the care they so desperately need.”
The charity is encouraging supporters who cannot attend or do not live locally, to take on their own Santa Dash on a route closer to home.
An early bird registration offer is running until Sunday, October 31, with tickets costing £15 for an adult, and £5 for a child.
From November, entry will cost £20 for adults and £7.50 for children.
The price includes a Santa suit for adults, and reindeer antlers and flashing noses for children. Every participant will receive a medal when they cross the finish line. Runners that raise more than £250 will receive an exclusive Santa Dash hoody.
