Can you help Santa by becoming a reindeer for the day?

Join us for some festive fun at The Bridges Shopping Centre on Sunday 5 December 2021 for a unique 1K* indoor family fun run to raise valuable funds for two local charities.

The Reindeer Dash 2021 is a great opportunity to raise funds for others in our community who are less fortunate this Christmas. Start your fundraising by using the sponsorship form attached.

Children's entry (12 and under) to the event costs £4 which includes reindeer nose and antlers, plus a fantastic reindeer medal and free entry to The Bridges Santa Grotto after 12pm.

And for all you adults young at heart... you can join the fun too. Enter the run for £6 and receive your own reindeer nose and antlers, whilst knowing your donation will help us raise as much money as possible for charity.

(Any child 5 or under must be accompanied by a paying adult on the course)

So what are you waiting for, take a dash, dance or prance around the Bridges this Christmas!
