Queenscourt’s festive fundraiser, the Santa Sprint, will make a welcome return on Sunday 11th December 2022 and the hospice would love you to turn Southport a sea of red once again.

The event, which celebrates its 13th anniversary has raised over £100,000 since its inception and is a full family affair – even your pet dog can take part!  

Once again there will be both a 3K and 5K route for you to walk, jog or run. The routes, which start at Silcock’s Funland on the Promenade, are also suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and buggies, so there’s even more reason to take part.

This year Silcock’s are giving all Santa’s a free ride on the famous carousel.

Bacon or sausage barns will be on sale for just £1 each

Silcock’s is once again sponsoring the event with a £1,000 donation to Queenscourt.

Each Santa Sprint participant will be given a Santa suit to wear and you will also receive a medal, which has kindly been sponsored by Hickory’s Smokehouse Southport. There will be a complimentary drink at the finish line for each participant courtesy of Silcock’s.

The Grand on Lord Street will also be giving free coffee and cakes to every ‘Santa’ bearing their finishers medal.

As if that’s not enough…….. all participants will receive a free week pass to Everlast on Ocean Plaza.
