Hundreds of Santas will hit the streets once again for a charity fun run.

The annual Santa Fun Run, organised by Naomi House & Jacksplace, returns to Winchester on Sunday, December 7, raising vital funds for the hospices in Sutton Scotney, which support children and young adults with life-limiting conditions.

A highlight of the festive season for more than 15 years, the event draws crowds of runners each year.

Gemma Rolfe, events executive at Naomi House & Jacksplace, said: "We are truly grateful to everyone who supports this event year on year. It is our jolliest event and raises thousands to help us continue the amazing care and support we provide at Naomi House & Jacksplace.

"Whether you’re thinking about joining us for the first time or are coming back for another year, we can’t wait for you to enjoy this experience."

This year brings a new route for the 5k run, which will start and finish outside Winchester Guildhall.

Participants will follow a scenic route along the River Itchen and through the countryside.

The run is open to all ages and abilities, including dogs.

Every participant will receive a Santa keyring and a mince pie at the finish line.

Registration starts from £8. To register visit naomihouse.org.uk/winchester25.
