Dorothy House’s ever-popular Santa and Elf Run is back for 2023. Taking place on Sunday 3 December, the event will see Santa’s and Elves complete the 2.5 or 5km route at around the Hospice in Winsley as a walk or run, all to raise funds for vital end of life care in Bath, North Somerset and North and West Wiltshire!
The fun run starts at 11am on 3 December with registration open from 9:30am and a warm-up session at 10.50am. Sticking to the same entry costs as last year’s fab event, it is £15 for 12+ years and £7.50 for 2-11 year olds. All 12+ year old participants will receive a Santa suit and 2-11 year olds will receive an Elf hat as part of their registration.
All adult entrants are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £30 or make a donation in lieu of sponsorship to help support patient care at Dorothy House.
Last year’s event raised an incredible £17,000 for the Hospice helping staff continue to deliver outstanding care to patients and families right across Bath and Wiltshire. Over £6,000 of this was raised by Kevin, his family and his ABInBev colleagues who all took part in support of Kevin who at the time was under the care of Dorothy House.
Carolyn, Kevin’s wife, had this to say about the event: “When my husband Kevin was told he only had weeks left he wanted to do something to raise money for Dorothy House. We saw the Santa and Elf Run on their website and thought that was perfect, and maybe we'd raise a couple of hundred pounds!
We've all heard about Dorothy House, but until you're involved with them you don't know what a special place it is.”
This is your chance to be part of something special. Get ready to don a Santa suit or elf hat, have fun and raise some money for your much-loved Hospice. Sign up today: https://www.dorothyhouse.org.uk/get-involved/events/santa-elf-run-2023/
