1866 Sport has been chosen as the official radio partner for the Santa Fun Run, which will take place in Queen’s Park on Christmas Eve!
The event, which first took place in 2016, features participants dressed in Santa suits running around the park, with a 1500m race (10am) and another one of 5k (10.30am).
Commenting on the partnership, Bridget Ball, marketing manager of the Spireites, said: “The Santa Fun Run is a popular annual event and we are pleased to offer our support to help promote it.
“I am sure that there will be another great turnout on Christmas Eve, with hundreds of Santas taking part!”
Race director John Cannon said: “It is always a great atmosphere and I’m really looking forward to it. We’ve set a limit of 500 and if we can get that amount of people, I’ll be very, very happy.”
Unit1 Fitness & Martial Arts will lead the warm-ups ahead of the races and to add to the festive mood, Ashover Band will be playing Christmas carols.
Nick Johnson from 1866 Sport will once again act as host at the event, which will see funds raised for Ashgate Hospice.
