The 2.5k route is set around the Wyndham Park, with an optional extension to 5k around the scenic Queen Elizabeth Park.

Rotarian Sue Kinder, the Club's President, who is organising the event, said: "We will see a flurry of red Santas of all ages participating to raise money for their favourite local charity, club or school or taking part just for fun."
