Jersey Hospice Care’s annual Santa Dash will return to St Helier next month, with participants set to take on a new route through the town centre.
The event, sponsored by Ogier for the third consecutive year, will take place on Thursday 3 December at 12pm, starting and finishing at West’s Centre.
Runners will make their way through King Street and around to Broad Street before returning to West’s Centre, where they will be welcomed with mince pies and medals.
The mile-long route is open to people of all ages and abilities, with individuals, families, friends and colleagues invited to take part.
Participants can run, jog, scoot or walk the course, making accessible for all levels.
Marina Brockbank from Jersey Hospice Care, who organises the event, said: “We’re really excited about the new route for this year’s Santa Dash.
“By bringing the event through the heart of town, we hope it creates an even bigger festive atmosphere and allows more people to join in the fun.
“There’s something truly special about seeing hundreds of Santas running through King Street, spreading Christmas cheer while supporting Jersey Hospice Care.”
Santa suits will be included in the registration fee, although participants are also encouraged to wear their own festive fancy dress.
Nicola Carroll, CSR Manager at Ogier, said: “We’re delighted to continue supporting Jersey Hospice Care’s Santa Dash.
“It’s become a real festive favourite with our colleagues, and we’re looking forward to getting suited and booted once again and joining hundreds of Santas through the heart of St Helier.
“Most importantly, it’s a brilliant way to have some festive fun while raising vital funds for Jersey’s only hospice.”
