Festive family fundraisin­g is on its way to Scarboroug­h as Saint Catherine’s gears up for its annual Santa Dash.

This year, Dashers will don their Santa suits and follow either a 5k or 10k route from Scarboroug­h Sea Life Centre and along the North Bay.

Participan­ts are encouraged to bring along family and friends for this fun event. As people can go at any pace they like, from a sprint to a saunter, it’s a fundraiser open to all.

Hospice fundraiser Nicky Grunwell said they hoped lots of people would join in the fun on the morning of Sunday December 11.

“There’s always such a lovely atmosphere as people get into the Christmas spirit by helping others,” she said. “It’s fabulous for us to see so many families, from babies in prams to grandparen­ts, coming together to support our vital work.

“This year, with the addition of the 10k option, we also hope to attract some running clubs, gyms and boot campers.”

Entry is £10 and includes your Santa suit. There is a special offer for a family of four at £30. The event is being supported by the Sea Life Centre who are offering refreshmen­ts to all participan­ts and £5 entry on the day into the Sealife Centre.

For details and to register, call the fundraisin­g department on (01723) 378406 or go to www.stcatherin­eshospicen­yorks.org
