The World Famous Annual Santa Run - 14th December 2008

Newtown, Wales

 

For one day of the year the sleepy mid-Wales market town of Newtown becomes a thriving sea of red and white, as people congregate to take part in the World Famous Santa Run.  Each year thousands of Santas descend on the town to take part in 4.5 mile festive charity fun run organised by the charity Newtown and District Dial a Ride.

 

Over the past five years Santa Run has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes, national and international.

 

If you take part in this years event 100% of your sponsorship money will go to your chosen charity and NOT split 50-50 as in previous years.  Participants in the Santa Run can choose to raise money for any charity, so this could be the ideal way to raise funds for CRY as the festive season approaches.

This year's event will also feature a children's race and a wheelchair race.

There are also some fantastic prizes to be given away this year, supplied by Vision Appliances on the Vastre in Newtown.  The prizes include 3 x 42 inch plasma HD-ready, Freeview-enabled televisions; 2 x £150 Toys R Us vouchers for the kids; and other smaller prizes to be given away via a draw on the day.

It costs £15 to register for the event, and in return for this registration fee you will receive a FREE Santa suit, sponsorship forms, and all the info you need about the event.  You will also receive a goody bag upon completion of the event.  Furthermore, if you choose to run for CRY, we will supply you with a red CRY t-shirt to wear over or under your Santa suit!

Participants in the event must commit to raising at least £20 in sponsorship.  All money raised by participants will go to the charity of their choice.
