Look dashing in your Santa suit for Dundee’s Santa Dash 2018 – happening this Sunday

It’s almost time to grab your Santa suit and get shamelessly festive for an exceptional cause, folks.
This Sunday (December 2) Dundee’s annual charity event ‘Santa Dash’ is returning to the lit up streets of Dundee. Once again, the event is in aid of The ARCHIE Foundation Tayside, an incredible charity that aims to make a significant difference to children’s healthcare.
This year organisers are hoping to get over 1000 Santas taking part in the festivities, and you could be one of them.
All the Saint Nicks will begin their race in Dundee’s City Square, completing a 2km route through the city centre (you can choose to do one lap or two). It really doesn’t matter how long you take, or even if you walk the journey, the event is strictly about having festive fun and contributing towards something so important.

Last year the Santa Dash raised over £5000 for the ARCHIE Foundation. Let’s try and make this year just as successful!
