Sleigh Bells ring, are you listening? On Lands Lane, we’ll be waiting, a beautiful sight, seeing so many in red and white, dashing in a winter wonderland.
Have you heard the news? Santa Claus is coming to town! Here’s the catch; there won’t just be one, two or even 10 Santas heading to Leeds this year, there will be thousands taking to the streets for the Santa Dash in Leeds City Centre to raise money for St Gemma’s Hospice. This year we are hoping to make it our biggest event ever with over 1,000 Santas all coming together to support St Gemma’s Hospice.
So it’s time to dust the snow off your running shoes, earn those mince pies, and sign up for this amazing festive event on Sunday 9th December 2018!
Raising vital funds for St Gemma’s Hospice is a great way to start the festive season, helping St Gemma’s bring joy and happiness to their patients. Depending on your ability you can dash through the city, taking in the Christmas sights, for either 1 or up to 5k. The dash is suitable for Santas or elves of all ages and abilities on this wheelchair/pram friendly route.
Once again we will be rewarding our festive fundraisers who are able to raise over £10 in sponsorship by Sunday 9th December with a special Santa pin badge! All you need to do is bring your sponsor money or show your online fundraising page at the dash.
There will be lots of seasonal cheer from the crowds to get you on your way, with a warm up to loosen those limbs will take place at the start led by a live brass band to get you in the festive spirit. Plus hundreds of other Santas to dash, dance or prance the pavements with. Don’t forget to warm your fingers and toes with hot drinks and free food at Little Tokyo after the dash!
Make sure you end the year on Santa’s nice list by being part of this fun and festive event, embracing the spirit of giving.
