Springhill Hospice Santa Dash returns for 2021

Santa Dash or Dawdle

The Santa Dash and Dawdle, the fun and family friendly Christmas fundraising event that raises money for Springhill Hospice, is back this December.

Springhill Hospice’s popular Santa Dash will return on Sunday 12 December at its new location, Queen’s Park in Heywood.

You are invited to dash, walk or stroll your way through candy cane corner, stop for a s-elfie and cross the tree-mendous finish line. Dashing Santas have the option to take on a 2km or 4km route within the park

Sophie Ansley, fundraising manager for Springhill Hospice said, “We can’t wait to see all of our Santa Dashers back in person this year after nearly two years. We’re also really excited to be at our brand new venue of Queen’s Park Heywood, and I would like to thank the friends group for being so welcoming and supportive.

"It has been a tough couple of years for the hospice and events, like our Santa Dash really gives our fundraising efforts a much needed boost as well as giving everybody that festive feeling and a day to remember. Many thanks also go to the many local business sponsors who support us every year.”

Continuing the eco-friendly theme from previous years, those taking part are encouraged to bring their own water bottles to help reduce waste. The Santas taking part will also receive a wooden medal for taking part for taking part in the festive fun event.

By registering online or via post you will receive a fundraising pack and your Santa suit to wear on the day. Taking part costs £10 per adult and £5 for under 16s.
