Santa dash for local charity
Organisers of a festive fun run are calling on budding Santas to get involved and raise money for local cancer patients.
The annual Santa Dash at Salop Leisure is being held at 9am on Sunday, November 28, around the Emstrey caravan park site outside Shrewsbury.
There will be a 5km route as well as a shorter 1km Elf Trail for smaller legs.
The event will this year raise funds for Lingen Davies Cancer Fund which supports people living with cancer in the community, as well as supporting cancer patients at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
Laura Wilde, marketing officer for Love 2 Stay, based at the site, said: “We like to support local charities and a lot of people have some sort of connection to someone living with cancer.
“It’s a vital local charity supporting so many people across our region, we’re delighted to be able to support Lingen Davies in this way.”
Anna Williams, Communications and Fundraising Officer for Lingen Davies, said: “This is going to be a fabulous event for the community and we hope to see the beautiful Salop Leisure site turned into a sea of red with people taking part."
Entry costs £12 per adult to take part, and £6 for children which includes a Santa or elf suit.
They will be available for collection during Salop Leisure’s Christmas fair which is being held on Saturday and Sunday, November 20 and 21.
