Santa Dash – Mountbatten’s annual festive family fun run – will return next month at a new venue.
The 5km run will be held at Ventnor Botanic Garden on Sunday 12th December and, as ever, all runners will receive a Santa suit to wear on the day.
The route will weave around the beautiful grounds, finishing in a special Christmas village featuring live music, gift stalls, a meet and greet with Frozen characters and the chance to see Santa.
Hartley: Moving to Ventnor promises to make it even better
Nigel Hartley, Mountbatten CEO, said,
“Covid prevented us from having a Santa Dash last year, and we really missed it, so we are delighted to bring it back.
“This is such a fun event, and moving it to Ventnor Botanic Garden promises to make it even better.
“It is a great way to get all the family into the Christmas spirit, so please sign up to support Mountbatten.”
The run starts at 11am, with registration open from 10am. All ages and abilities are welcome.
