The hospice will also be hosting its annual Christmas Fayre at the same venue with a selection of indoor market stalls and a Santa’s Grotto.
The Santa Scramble is open to every ability; you are invited to walk or jog the 5km course, which will run in allocated waves throughout the day until 4pm. Tickets are £20 for adults and £15 for under 16s, with an option of a family ticket for £50 for two adults and two children. As part of the entry, all participants will receive a free Santa suit and hat!
Described as ‘a Santa Dash with added fun’, this year’s Santa Scramble event will have a new twist on previous 5km Santa runs, as there will be a selection of inflatable obstacles that participants will be able to scramble under, over and between, including a ‘Pyramid Field’, ‘Crazy Tubes’, ‘Shock Absorber’ and ‘The Shredder’. Once completed though, they will be awarded with a very festive Santa Scramble medal.
Anyone can come along to the Christmas Fayre, whether they are participating in the Santa Scramble or not. If you want to get some last-minute Christmas shopping done, there will be many festive indoor stalls with local businesses including the Little Gin Company, Henley Chocolates, Tropic Skincare, Vin Neuf and a selection of silver jewellery, wreaths, crafts and candles.
Santa Scramble tickets can be bought at www.theshakespearehospice.org.uk and you can still register on the day at the Stratford on Avon Racecourse from 9:30am.
