Hi everyone!

We’d love for you and your family to join us for a Santa Fun Run/Jog/Walk on Sunday 21st December at 7:59am, starting at Splashpoint. 🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🏻

This is a 5km out-and-back route along the seafront, but there’s no pressure to complete it all—turn back whenever you like! The aim is simple: beat the winter blues, have fun, and bring our community together.

Here’s what to expect:

Free hot chocolate and cookies for everyone ☕🍪

Family-friendly fun: dogs on leads, babies and toddlers in buggies, children on bikes or scooters—all welcome! 🦮🛴

Fancy dress encouraged (but not required) 🤶🏻🧑🏻‍🎄🎅🏻

Free Santa hats available on the day ❤️

We’re also raising awareness of mental health and supporting Mind. 💙🩵💙 There’s a suggested donation of £5 per family, but please know there’s no obligation to donate—just come along and enjoy the morning together.

This event is part of the Sunrise Initiative, where members of our local community (including myself!) have been running every weekday at 6am since September. So far, we’ve raised £3,700 and our goal is £5,000 by Christmas—we’ve pledged to keep going until we reach it!

Let’s come together for some fresh air, a bit of exercise, and a lot of fun. Meet new faces, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate the season in style.

Date: Sunday 21st December

Time: 7:59am

Location: Splashpoint, Seaford Seafront

We hope to see you there!

Kat, Matt & Sam ❤️

Just when you thought our fundraising days were over… Sam has decided we’re not done yet! She’s upping the target and keeping the momentum going!

As much as I’d love to commit, six weeks of 6am starts is enough for me (for now 😅) Matt & I have officially handed the baton to Sam. She’ll be continuing the legacy throughout November, setting her alarm, braving the dark, cold and rain, all to keep raising awareness for mental health and the incredible charity Mind.

Matt, myself, and many of the Seaford Striders will be cheering her on (and joining for a few of those dark runs) but this month, it’s Sam who’s leading the charge showing what strength, kindness and commitment to others really look like.

Our new goal is a little bit daunting — £5,000 — but we believe in what we’re doing. Every step, every mile and every 6am alarm is for the people who are fighting silent battles every day. If we havent reached the target by the end of November the baton will be passed onto another committed Strider for December and so on!

So please, if you can,

💚 Support the cause. Support the chaos. Support the 6am struggle.

Thank you,

Sam, Matt & Kat
