RUNNERS are being urged to take part in a fantastically festive event and raise funds for the Primrose Hospice at the same time.
The charity’s annual Santa Fun Run takes place at Arrow Valley Country Park in Redditch on December 7.
Whether participants are seasoned runners or simply looking to soak up some Christmas cheer, the event is ideal for all ages and abilities.
People can choose between a 1km or a 5km route so it is perfect for families, friends,and even four-legged companions.
Every participant will receive a free Santa suit so they can turn Arrow Valley into a sea of red and white.
And at the finish line there will be eco-friendly medals and tasty mince pies for the finishers.
Jack Taft, Primrose Hospice fundraiser, said: “Santa Fun Run is an annual gathering of our local community heroes – Santa suits and jingle bells descends upon Arrow Valley Country Park for one day only in December.
“Our Santas remind us all of our shared humanity, running to raise funds that achieve one clear purpose – to support patients and families facing really difficult times.
“Every penny raised, goes towards our efforts as a hospice to make sure our services are here so that nobody within the Bromsgrove and Redditch areas faces this struggle alone.
“Bring the cheer, the festive spirit and get those legs walking, jogging or dashing on Sunday, December 7 – and yes, you can be the Santa others need this Christmas.”
The Primrose Hospice Santa Fun Run 2025 is being sponsored by John Truslove and supported by Redditch Round Table and Redditch Stars.
