THE SANTAMOVES FUN RUN IS COMING!
Our Santa Run is taking place on the afternoon on 8th December and we’d love to see you there!
This is your chance to get dressed up in a Santa suit and walk, jog or run through Stag Hill campus alongside your fellow students and staff to mark the start of the festive season. Get your tickets HERE.
Please note, Santa suits are included in the £3 ticket price and there will be a free hot chocolate and mice pie available to all participants on completion of the 2km run.
You also have the opportunity to make an optional donation to Shooting Star Children’s Hospices when you buy your ticket. This is a leading children’s charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.
Head to the the SantaMoves news article for full information about the event.
