Whichever you choose, include your furry family members in the festivities by bringing them on the walkies of the year at this local Christmas favourite.
Santa Fun Run is an annual festive 5k when family and friends (including the four-legged variety) gather in a sea of Santa suits to raise crucial funds for Run, walk, wheel or skip, taking part is all that matters.
Santa Fun Run takes place at a poignant time of year for Maneck, Ruby and Talulla, as they remember wife and mum Sharon, who died at Princess Alice Hospice in November 2020. Each year they join the Bushy Park run dressed in Santa and elf suits to raise funds whilst sharing precious memories close to the anniversary of Sharon’s death.

Talulla gives some words of encouragement to anyone signing up, “It’s such a fun thing to do together and it’s such good vibes.”
