Strathcarron Hospice Santa Dash 2015

Posted on November 5, 2015

Strathcarron Hospice have organised a Santa Dash through Callendar Park on Saturday 5^th December, starting at 11am.

Using the Callander Park Park Run 5k route, participants are encouraged to complete the Dash at their own pace, be it running, jogging or walking, or even with their dog or pram.

Participating adults will receive a “fabulous five-piece Santa Suit” (one size fits all – leggings are recommended, as the trousers tend to fall down!), and all children will receive a Santa Hat, along with mince pies on the day. Tickets will be sent out in order to collect your outfit the morning of the Dash.

Tickets are £10 for adults and £3 for children between 5 – 15 years old, while children under five go free. A family ticket (including two adults and up to four children) is available for £25, and money raised will go to Strathcarron Hospice.

To book, please visit the Strathcarron website, or for further information, contact the Fundraising Team by calling 01324 826222.
