Santa Run to return to Wolverhampton in aid of sight loss charity
Beacon Centre for the Blind is inviting runners, walkers and their four-legged friends to take part in its festive 5km fundraising event in December
West Park is set to be filled with Santas as Beacon Centre for the Blind brings its annual Santa Run back to Wolverhampton.
The 5km event will take place on Sunday, December 13, with people of all ages and abilities invited to run or walk the route to raise money for the charity.
The event will feature music from the City of Wolverhampton Council Choir, along with appearances from Mrs Claus and Elf on the Shelf.
Rupi Lal will return as host, while the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Paul Singh, will also attend to get proceedings under way.
Dogs are welcome to join in, with every dog ticket including a festive bandana.
An event photographer will capture the day, with pictures available to download free of charge afterwards.
Money raised will support Beacon Centre for the Blind's work helping people living with sight loss to build confidence and independence.
Sarah Dovey, fundraising manager at the charity, said: "We're getting ready to turn West Park into a sea of Santas, and we want Wolverhampton to get involved!
"With the City of Wolverhampton Council Choir, the Mayor, Mrs Claus, Elf on the Shelf and Rupi Lal joining us, there'll be plenty happening on the day.
"Bring friends, family or colleagues, and your dog, for some festive fun. Every ticket helps support local people living with sight loss."
