Want to run about in a cotton wool beard and red suit? These are the events for you!
01 SANTA RUNS
Various dates in December 2024.
Difficulty level:
Depending on where you live, you can't help to have seen banners posted from October onwards directing you to an upcoming Santa Run. These are untimed 2km runs where you raise money for the Children's Hospice. As an example, there's one near where I live in North Somerset at Charlton Farm. Sign up for less than a tenner (children are £4.80; children under three are free), raise £25 for the Children's Hospice, and enjoy a fitness and fun boost all at the same time. Fancy dress isn't mandatory, but it'd be rather Scrooge-like not to dress as the bearded one (Father Christmas, not Noel Edmonds), a reindeer or something equally as festive.
There are further Xmas Pudding Runs and Santa Dashes that aren't affiliated to the Children's Hospice. Just search online and do your bit for others (and your cardiovascular system) this Christmas.
