The Santa Jog will see Mary Stevens Park in Stourbridge filled with runners in Santa costume taking on the sponsored 5K walk and a hum of hearty 'ho-ho-hos'.

Families, including their four-legged friends, are invited to sign up for the event taking place on Sunday December 5.

Adults will receive a Santa Suit and Christmas Tree finisher badge while younger Santa Joggers will receive a pair of Reindeer antlers and there will be a treat for all dogs who take part.

Each Santa who signs up will receive a sponsor form, to help the hospice on Hagley Road, Oldswinford continue providing care free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

James Totney, Community and Events Fundraiser at The Mary Stevens Hospice said: "We can't wait to see a sea of Santas taking over Mary Stevens Park as we bring back our popular Santa Jog event.

"It has really become a family tradition on the lead up to Christmas and we have been busy planning to ensure that all of our supporters have a wonderful morning making memories with family and friends.

"What a better way to get into the festive spirit and help your local hospice."
