Queenscourt Hospice in Southport Santa Sprint returns again for 2022

Queenscourt’s festive fundraiser, the Santa Sprint, will make a welcome return on Sunday 11th December, and we hope supporters old and new will join in the fun.

The event, which celebrates its 13th anniversary sees Southport’s coastline become a sea of Santas, and has raised over £100,000 since its inception and is a full family affair – even your pet dog can take part!

Once again there will be both a 3K and 5K route for you to walk, jog or run. The route which starts and finishes at Silcock’s Funland, is also suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and buggies.

Each participant will be given a Santa suit to wear and you will also receive a medal. There will be a complimentary drink for each participant courtesy of Silcock’s Leisure Group.

Registration is now open and costs £20 for adults, £10 for under 16s or £50 for a family of two adults and two children. Your Santa Sprint registration covers the cost of the event and your Santa suit.

This is a sponsored event and participants are kindly requested to have a minimum sponsorship of £30 for adults, £15 for under 16’s.

Dianne Gillespie, Event Fundraiser for Queenscourt, said: “We are really looking forward to the return of Santa Sprint this year, the event is always such a fun occasion that raises much needed income for our hospice. After the success of Star Trekk earlier this year, we can’t wait for our local community to come together once again and spread some festive cheer in their Santa Suits, ready for the Christmas holidays.”

The fun run, which is once again being kindly sponsored by Silcock’s Leisure Group, will start at 11am.
