Your festive day out

Join us at West Stow Country Park on Sunday, 30 November, at 10am, for a day of festive fun.

From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere will be buzzing. Collect your Santa hat, take part in a fun warm-up to some festive favourites, then set off on your chosen cross-country route with plenty of encouragement along the way from our marshals in their finest Christmas outfits.

If you’re bringing kids, they can enjoy our special activity sheet on the 2.5km route.

Once you’ve crossed the finish line and collected your medal, make your way to the Christmas Event Village for a well-earned hot drink and festive treats.

Make every step count

Go the extra mile and gather sponsorship from your friends and family. You’ll not only spread awareness, but also directly help those in need of our vital care and support. Every penny counts!

With:

£22, you could support a child receiving bereavement support this Christmas season.

£31, your donation could help care for a patient on the ward over the festive season.

£52, your gift could allow a patient to spend time with family free of pain at a time so important for families.

We’re asking all participants to aim to raise £50 in sponsorship, and together we will make a real difference to patients and families across West Suffolk and Thetford.

Volunteering

If running isn’t for you, you can still get involved and enjoy all the festive fun while helping others. We have a variety of volunteer roles to suit everyone, so why not volunteer and play an important part on the day?
