At 1.00pm this Saturday, 4th Dec 2021, me and hopefully loads of other Santas will run the length of the lower promenade to the end of the Greensward, turn the corner and head back along the upper promenade to cross the finish line, near the War Memorial - We should all be dressed as Father Christmas!

I've already tried on the Father Christmas costume and running in it will be a challenge in itself as I've never run with a full beard and pointy hat funnily enough...also, the crotch has already gone on the trousers from just walking around the house. What a sight.

WHAT TO DO:
I hope to raise £100 for Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity and I am only asking for a £1 donation per person (+ GiftAid) if you could be so kind. Thank you so much.

COME AND JOIN IN OR JUST SUPPORT:
If you want to participate, or just come along and see this spectacular at 1.00pm Saturday lunchtime then please see the link below:
