Marple Santa Dash is now open for Registration!This year the 10th annual Romiley & Marple Lions Santa Run is taking place in aid of Kidneys for Life on Sunday 2nd December.
Marple Santa Dash is a fun run for all the family starting at 12 noon from Marple Memorial Park. The event finishes at Marple Garden Centre, where you will be greeted with a free mince pie and a cup of tea. Children will receive a present from Santa and everyone wearing a Santa Suit will get a free ride on the Dragon Miniature Railway. Transport is provided back to the Memorial Park.
The Dash is about 2 miles long, mostly downhill and along footpaths – and don’t worry if you can’t manage a dash! You can run, walk – or even crawl!
Registration is £10 for both Adults & Children which includes your Santa suit. Organisers are asking adults to raise minimum sponsorship of £30 and for the children to raise as much as they can.
