November 12, 2012, 8:43 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- For those of us with a burning desire to say we've run London dressed up as Father Christmas, well our dream will be coming true this December, as the 5km Santa Run comes to Battersea Park.
Taking place on 1st December, the run is organized to raise money for Home-Start, a charity which works to give children the best possible start in life. Participants can come dressed up or not – though give the occasion it really is worth a go…
Adult registration is £20 and child registration £10, with minimum sponsorship tallies for both. You can walk, jog or run, and it's a great way to stay warm in the winter cold, and have a bit of fun with a group of friends or family.
Afterwards participants can relax with mulled wine and Christmas cake – a deserved treat after the exertions, no doubt! For keen runners and charity fundraisers who are keen to get involved, don't forget to organize the whole weekend.
LondonTown.com has collated a fantastic collection of events and hotel deals for a London Christmas – a special seasonal feature which pulls together the best of the festivals, restaurants and one-off events which will make this a special time.
