It's not just Rudolph who can run, run, run!
Launch your festive period off in style by being a throng of Santa’s running 4.5 Km through London’s streets raising vital funds for SPEAR.
Setting off at 7PM just outside St. Paul’s Cathedral you’ll be running along and across the Thames, past Shakespeare’s Globe, towards Tate Modern and across the Millennium Bridge before returning to the steps of St. Paul’s.
The route is step free and inclusive for those with mobility concerns.
You can run with the family as well, children from 3 and up can join in and are free to join. Imagine the memories you’ll make (Young runners get a medal but you will have to provide a Santa suit)
Don’t worry about not having a Santa suit, one is included in your £15 registration fee.
With just a £150 sponsorship target there’s nothing to stop you shouting “Ho Ho Ho” and being the best dressed member of #TeamSPEAR!
