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.
