Event: EACH host popular Santa Fun Runs 9th & 16th December

Norwich and Poringland are to be transformed into a sea of red jackets and white beards once again when East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) hosts its popular Santa runs.

The Norwich run will be over two kilometres (1.2 miles) at Eaton Park on Sunday, 9 December, whilst the Poringland one will be over five kilometres (3.1 miles), starting and finishing at Framingham Earl High School, on Sunday, 16 December. Both will commence at 11am.

Emma Benstead, EACH Norfolk Fundraising Assistant, said: “We’re delighted, as always, to be helping people get in the Christmas spirit. Please come along and join in the fun. Money raised at the Santa run in Norwich will help us continue caring for the 129 children and young people with life-threatening conditions in Norfolk who are currently offered our service, as well as the 160 family members.

“Money raised at the Santa run in Poringland will go towards the nook appeal, the aim of which is to raise £10 million for the construction of our new Norfolk hospice.”

For both events, tickets are £15 for anyone aged over 13, £8 for children, £40 for a family of four, or groups of six or more can enter for £14 per person. Anyone who books before 28 October will receive a discounted, early bird price. There are also exclusive discounts and benefits for corporate attendees. Those aged over 13 will get a Santa suit whilst children will get a Santa or Elf hat. Medals will be given to everyone and children will also receive a festive goody bag.

The Norwich run is being sponsored by insurance specialist A-Plan and the Poringland run by estate agent Winkworth,
