“I had a great day and it was my first time running a long distance race. I enjoyed the route and everybody’s cheers really helped. The Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity was my first choice of charity, and I thought of my friend when it got really tough at 18-19K!”

Join us to raise funds, spread some festive cheer and have fun! Lace up your trainers and take part in our Festive Family Fun Run!
Arrive from 9am, the run starts at 10am.
5K route, with a 2K route available for anyone who wishes to complete a shorter distance.
This is a Fun Run and not a race, so it’s suitable for all the family! You can walk, jog, or run, and you will not be timed.
Medals for all finishers.
We encourage all participants to wear something festive – this could be a Santa hat, antlers, Christmas jumper, tinsel, or a full Santa suit! Prizes for the best fancy dressed family, adult and child.
Entry costs:
- Adult (18 years+) – £15.00
- Child (5-17 years) – £5.00
- Under 5s – Free
- Family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) – £35.00
The ticket fees help to cover the cost of the event, so we encourage all adults who sign up to help raise funds by pledging to raise £75.00 in sponsorship, which will go towards supporting patients and their families receiving care from Priscilla Bacon Lodge.
Friends and spectators may attend for free, and refreshments will be available.
Please note that pushchairs and dogs are most welcome on site, but unfortunately they are not able to take part in the run.

“We had a fantastic time completing the 5K inflatable run, and even better, it supported the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity! The numerous obstacle courses made it feel like we weren’t running 5 kilometres. After our team regrouped at the finish line, we agreed that we would have to do this again next year!”

“We all had a blast, thank you to all who organised the event!”
