The East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) Ipswich Santa Run will take place on December 13 with enthusiastic fundraisers taking on a course around the town centre.

The fun event is not a race – entrants can run, jog or walk around the route which is suitable for all members of the family.

Kesha Allen, EACH events intern, said: “We are excited to host this year’s Santa Run in the heart of the town centre along a new route.

“Kay Fletcher will be joining us again to warm up our excited runners.

“This is a great, well-established event where EACH supporters continue to raise funds to support families and care for children and young people with life threatening conditions across East Anglia.

“This really is a fun even for all the family so come and join in on the fun.”

The run starts at 10.30am, with entry being £10 for adults (including Santa suit) and £6 for children under 13-years-old, who also get a Santa hat.

A Plan Insurance will be sponsoring the event, providing marshals, hosting the participant registration and handing out Santa suits.
