A CHARITY Santa Dash is set to return with a bang this Christmas.

CancerCare North Lancashire and South Cumbria are taking their Lancaster event and taking it ‘on tour’ to new locations - including Millom, Kendal and Morecambe.

The Millom Santa Dash will take place at Millom Community Track on December 5 at 11am. The dash is a one mile fun run.

Organiser Kat Michaels said: “The Santa Dash is one of our favourite events because, as well as raising thousands of pounds, the sight of so many people running around, having fun dressed as Father Christmas does a fantastic job raising awareness about the work we do.

“This year we will be doing it on an even bigger scale with events across all of the areas we serve and it will be wonderful to see everyone out with their families having fun this Christmas. I am particularly excited about the runs in Morecambe and Millom as they are completely new areas for us.”

The events in Morecambe, Kendal and Millom runs will be short family fun runs while the Lancaster Dash will feature longer 5k and 10k routes to provide a more competitive edge for more serious runners.

Last year’s Virtual Santa Dash raised more than £14,000.
