Well-wishers can give a much-loved Farnham charity an an early Christmas present by signing up for a festive fun run.

Registration is now open for the annual Phyllis Tuckwell Santa Fun Run with discounted early bird entry for fundraisers who fancy running, walking or jogging the 5km route for the good cause.

The event will begin at 11am on Sunday, December 1, at Wavell School in Farnborough with participants challenge to complete two laps around the playing field off Queens Avenue.

Families and dogs are welcome to take part while there’s an added incentive to sign up early with discounted fees of £12 for adults and £5 for children being offered.

Registration includes a Santa suit for adults or reindeer antlers for children while participants will also receive a medal for taking part in the event.

There is no requirement to complete the route or post a fast time, as the event will not be timed, as organisers would like participants to complete the run in their own time.

Event fundraiser at Phyllis Tuckwell, Fiona Chapman said: “Our Santa Fun Run is always a really enjoyable event, and it raises such important funds to help support our care.

“We would like to say a big thank you to The Wavell School for hosting it once again and to Vake Furnishers for kindly sponsoring the event.”

Proceeds from the annual event will go towards the charity’s £6million plan for a new hospice, to sign up visit www.pth.org.uk/santa-fun-run
