If you’ve always wanted to run through Wimborne dressed as a Santa – now is your opportunity.

Organised by Wimborne Rotary, the Great Santa Fun Run returns to the town on Saturday 4 December.

Starting at 10am from Allenbourn School, East Borough, BH21 1PL, entrants for the run will be able to choose from a 2K or 5K course. Entry is £10 for adults and £5 for under-18s with all proceeds going to local charity Julia’s House. Entrants can either turn up on the day or pre-book by registering via email at: santarun2021@wimbornerotary.org

Every entrant will receive a free Santa suit and a mince pie. Whether entering as an individual, or as a team, runners are encouraged to fundraise for their own favourite charities by seeking sponsorship.

Wimborne Rotary president, Jan Baseley, said: “I am delighted that Rotary has, once again, been able to bring Santas back to Wimborne, marking the start of the festive season.

“We hope that runners will enjoy this fun event whilst at the same time supporting our fundraising for Julia’s House.”
