All children will receive a medal, a ‘Jingle Bell’ Christmas tree decoration and a sweet treat.
Festive-themed dress is encouraged (Santa suit, Grinch hat, Christmas fairy, donkey etc.) and there will be games and activities to keep everyone busy, festive tunes to get everyone in the festive spirit and face painting for junior runners. There will also be the opportunity to decorate your own race bib! Santa and his helpers will also be on hand.
