Event Information
About this Event
Can you help Santa by becoming a reindeer for the day?
Join us for some festive fun at The Bridges Shopping Centre on Sunday 8 December 2019 for a unique 1K* indoor family fun run to raise valuable funds for a local charity.
And that's not all... Gemma Naylor (Nick Jnr) and Jon Moses (ITV's Superstars), who are appearing as Cinderella and Prince Charming in Cinderella this festive season at Sunderland Empire, will be making a special appearance during the event, handing out ceremonial medals for everyone who completes the race.
The Reindeer Dash 2019 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 or why not set up a Just Giving page.
Children's entry (12 and under) to the event costs £3.50 which includes reindeer nose and antlers, plus a fantastic reindeer medal and free entry to The Bridges Santa Grotto.
And for all you adults young at heart... you can join the fun too. Enter the run for £5.50 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!
