Story

We missed everyone so much last year and can't wait to welcome you all back to our signature festive event at West Park, Wolverhampton on Sunday 5th December.

Whether you run, jog or walk the 5k route, the event is all about having fun, feeling festive and raising money for Beacon Centre for the Blind. To add to the fun, all adults will receive a Santa suit* and children a Santa hat* to wear during the race. We even have a little gift for our favourite 'Santa Paws' friends*.

Feeling competitive? All participants will receive a shiny Santa Run medal* and this year the first adult and first child to complete the course will win a very special commemorative t-shirt.

Ticket Prices:

Adult Santa £10.00

Child Santa £8.00

Under 5s Santas little helpers Free

Santa Paws £1.00

Running club and Park Run members £8.00

The past 18 months have been tough on the Beacon Centre and the people that we support so this year we are asking participants to consider raising sponsorship for completing the course and for those superstars who beat our £50 target a special Beacon t-shirt, printed by Beacon's very own Fab Lab, will be sent out to you in January.

By raising £50 for Beacon, you can make a real difference to people with sight loss. Your donation could support us in offering sight loss advice sessions or 30 minute welfare calls ensuring no one feels lonely in these challenging times.

Setting up a Just Giving fundraising page is simple, if you have any questions please email SupportUs@BeaconVision.org and we will happily help you.
