The Old Bank in Southport is saying thank you to everyone running in this year’s Queenscourt Hospice Santa Sprint – by offering them a free post-run coffee and a slice of cake.
The stylish new venue officially opened on Lord Street in the town centre last month, after an extensive renovation.
People taking part in the Santa Sprint on Sunday 12th December will be able to have a look inside to see what they think when they call in after the event.
The Old Bank Social Media and Events Manager Amber Sardinha said: “This year we will be supporting the Queenscourt Hospice Santa Sprint by offering the amazing Santas our venue for a complimentary post-run coffee and slice of cake for after the event.
“We figured as it is such a great cause and so local to our venue we would love to give something back to the people working hard to raise funds for the charity.
“As the event finishes around lunchtime it’s the perfect excuse for people to recharge their batteries with some much-needed and well-deserved coffee and cake – which is absolutely delicious to say the least!
“This event is even closer to home for us at The Old Bank because one of our Supervisors, Catherine, is participating with her six year old daughter!
“Of course, if the Santas wanted more of a substantial meal or perhaps even a cocktail to say cheers to their hard work, these will be available too as per our usual menu.
“We would love to spread the word to all of the other Santas and people involved that we are doing this, so we would greatly appreciate people’s help in doing so.”
People of all ages are being invited to sign for the 2021 Santa Sprint on Sunday, 12th December, in either the 3k or 5k category.
A Queenscourt Hospice spokesperson said: “We are delighted to say this festive event is back!
“Join in this event with hundreds of Santas and help raise funds for Queenscourt Hospice.”
Closing date for online entry is midday on Thursday, 9th December.
