THE Bolesworth Estate will be hosting its inaugural Santa Dash in aid of Hope House and Ty Gobaith children's hospices, this December.

Hope House Children’s Hospices is a registered charity dedicated to the provision of hospice and community care for life limited children and their families from Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales. It has been Bolesworth’s appointed charity for just over a year now, with almost £40,000 raised so far.

The Bolesworth Santa Dash will be held on Sunday, December 11, starting at 3pm with arrival from 2.30pm. Participants will have the opportunity to run, or walk, a 2km circuit which will wind around the impressive Bolesworth Castle, with incredible views of Cheshire, north Wales, Wirral, and Merseyside along the way. What’s more, it’s dog-friendly too so pooches are welcome to join the fun.

Hope House and Ty Gobaith were recently announced as the official charity partners for Chester's 10k, Half Marathon, Full and Metric Marathon races.

Contestants for the Bolesworth Estate event are encouraged to dress up and will receive a Santa Dash medal and goody bag at the finish line. They will also be offered a 25 per cent discount off four tickets to the Bolesworth Christmas Lights Trail, which will be matched by a further 25 per cent donation by Bolesworth to the chosen charity.

All entry fees - £5 per child and £10 for adults - will be donated to the Hope House Children’s Hospice charity. Admission is free for spectators.
