A much-loved Santa Fun Run is set to return to Worcestershire.

The Primrose Hospice Santa Fun Run is back on Sunday (December 7) at Arrow Valley Country Park in Redditch.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply looking to soak up some Christmas cheer, this event is ideal for all ages and abilities.

Choose between a 1km or 5km route - perfect for families, friends, and even four-legged companions.

Every participant will receive a free Santa suit, turning Arrow Valley into a sea of red and white.

At the finish line eco-friendly medals and tasty mince pies await the runners.

Fundraiser at Primrose Hospice Jack Taft said: "Santa Fun Run is an annual gathering of our local community heroes, Santa suits and jingle bells descend upon Arrow Valley Country Park for one day only in December.

"Our Santas remind us all of our shared humanity, running to raise funds that achieve one clear purpose: to support patients and families facing really difficult times. Every penny raised, goes towards our efforts as a Hospice to make sure our services are here so that nobody within the Bromsgrove and Redditch areas faces this struggle alone.

"Bring the cheer, the festive spirit and get those legs walking, jogging or dashing on Sunday (December 7) and yes, you can be the Santa others need this Christmas."
