CHELMSFORD, UK – November 20, 2025 – Farleigh Hospice calls on the community to embrace the holiday spirit and make a profound impact by joining the enchanting Santa Fun Run 2025. This beloved, family-oriented 5km event transforms Central Park into a sea of red-and-white cheer, welcoming runners, joggers, walkers, and wheelers of all abilities to raise essential funds for end-of-life care.

Taking place on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 9:30 AM, the Santa Fun Run kicks off with sign-in at 9:30 AM, a group warm-up at 10:30 AM, and the main start at 10:45 AM. Held at the accessible Central Park in Chelmsford, the event is fully inclusive, accommodating pushchairs, wheelchairs, and even four-legged friends on leads - complete with a special Best Dressed Dog competition to spotlight the most jolly pups in holiday attire.

Participants will don upgraded Santa suits for 2025, featuring breathable tops for adults that promise lasting wear and free elf hats for children, ensuring everyone feels part of the magic (bring your own Santa hat or grab one on-site). Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or simply seeking a fun outing, this wheelchair-friendly romp offers something for all ages, with free entry for carers and children under 3.

Event tickets are affordably priced to encourage widespread participation:
