ARCHIVED RACE: DoItForCharity Santa 5k Fun Run @ Greenwich Park, London on 5th December 2010

His traditional form of transport is a sleigh and a team of reindeers but soon Santa will be using his own two feet to raise money for charity – and you could be part of it!

World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) is calling on runners to take part in a 5k Santa fun run in the approach to Christmas. Each runner will receive a free Father Christmas outfit – complete with snowy beard – to don for the December 5 race around Greenwich Park, South East London.

Just £20 to enter the deadline to register is 12th November 2010. Please visit http://www.doitforcharity.com/doitforcharity-5km-santa-run-2010.aspx to sign up today!

Around 2,000 ‘Santas’ are expected to take part and WCRF are asking everyone to raise at least £100 in sponsorship. Beginners are welcome and the emphasis is on taking part, so even if you just want a festive stroll around the park you can join in.

In return for raising a minimum sponsorship target of £100, we can offer you a guaranteed place in this run. We can also offer you lots of fundraising and training support to help you to make the most of the race, for example:

Full support from a dedicated member of WCRF UK’s Events Team
Training Plan and nutritional advice
