5k Santa Run 2009
On Sunday 6th December the Doitforcharity.com run series will host a 5km Santa Run in Greenwich Park, London. So why not make our Christmas by signing up today?! Just a few miles from the centre of London, Greenwich Park is one of the largest parks in the London area, a wonderful setting for your 5km run!
Up to 1,000 people are expected to take part raising funds for hundreds of different charities and now this is your chance to join them and the rest of the Sands Santas and raise funds for us.
This is the perfect distance for people of all fitness levels and with a bit of training this 5km should easily be within your capabilities. The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not 'winning' so you can run, jog or walk - you decide!
Anyone over the age of 8 years old may take part although children under the age of 16 will require parental consent and must be accompanied by a parent or guarandian.
Registration of this event includes a Santa suit!!
Why not register now by clicking on the Santas above and ask friends and family to sponsor you instead of sending you a christmas card or buying you a christmas present this year?
Sands will provide you with fundraising support so make sure you let us know as soon as you have registered for your place. Click here once you have registered for your Santa run place and complete our online fundraiser registration form.
How to enter
Sands have a number of places for this event. Register online or contact us and we will send you a registration pack in the post. There is an entry fee of £20 which covers your place, administration and your Santa suit and we request that you raise a minimum of £100 if you can. If you would prefer to register and post in your fee please contact us or download a pack here.
Why raise money for Sands?
17 babies a day are stillborn or die within the first 4 weeks of their young lives - that's over 6,200 babies every year in the UK.
1 in every 200 babies born in the UK is stillborn.
1 in every 300 babies born in the UK dies in the first 4 weeks of life.
Everyone has their own special reason for taking part in an event like this. Whatever yours is please join the Sands Team and help us to continue to support families when their baby dies and to promote research to help reduce the loss of these babies' lives.
Thank You.
