St Richard’s Hospice is inviting families and friends to join them for a festive fun-run along the river Severn dressed as Father Christmas.
The St Richard’s Hospice Santa Dash takes place on Sunday, December 16 and will see crowds of runners take on the two-mile jog.
The route starts at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, in New Road, Worcester, and follows the river Severn to Diglis.
The finish line is in front of Browns at the Quay, where there will be festive refreshments of hot chocolate or mulled wine, and chocolate brownies or mince pies.
Jodi Brandwood, hospice Fundraiser, said: “We can’t wait to see everyone dressed up in their Santa suits and getting into the Christmas spirit.
“You can choose to run, jog, walk or even skip your way around the course – before enjoying a well-earned treat at the end.
“It’s a great way to get together with your loved ones before Christmas and have some fun – all while raising funds to help us continue our care.”
Each participant, except those under three, will get a free Santa suit to wear on the day.
Registration takes place at Foley’s Café, at the cricket club, from 9am for a 10.30am start.
Adult tickets cost £15 – while tickets for children aged three to 16 are £10.
