Santa Jog returns to Stourbridge for festive 5K run

The Mary Stevens Hospice’s popular Santa Jog returns to Mary Stevens Park on Sunday, December 6, bringing the community together for a fun-filled morning in support of local hospice care.

Starting at 10am, the sponsored 5K invites people of all ages to run, walk or cheer from the sidelines as the park transforms into a joyful sea of Santas. Festive Walkies will also return for four-legged participants, alongside a new Bark Park and a chance for dogs to meet Santa Paws.

This year, every participant will also receive a new bespoke, environmentally friendly medal to celebrate their achievement.

James Totney, Deputy Head of Fundraising at Mary Stevens Hospice, said: “Santa Jog is a wonderful way for families, friends and four-legged companions to begin their Christmas celebrations while supporting local hospice care.

“Every person who takes part will help us continue providing specialist palliative care and support for patients and their loved ones when they need it most. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Mary Stevens Park for a morning full of festive fun and plenty of Santa magic.”

Whether running, walking or joining in with Festive Walkies, participants can enjoy a memorable start to the season while raising vital funds for Mary Stevens Hospice.
