Myton Hospice’s annual Santa Dash gets underway on Sunday (Dec 13) with runners, joggers and walkers donning their Santa suits for the 5k event.

The race gets underway at 9.00 am from the hospice in Myton Road and winds around St Nicholas Park with plenty of live music and refreshments along the way, including homemade cakes and hot drinks.
Among the runners will be a team from Blythe Liggins Solicitors, who have had the hospice as their chosen charity for many years, raising several thousand pounds.

Wills and probate paralegal Jessica McDonnell, who has organised a team of 12 from the law firm, said: “This is the latest event in which we plan to raise money for Myton and we are gathering as much sponsorship as we can.

“It really is a fun event for an extremely worthy cause and we are looking forward to it very much. Many of our team race in the annual Two Castles Run between Warwick and Kenilworth, which has been sponsored by Blythe Liggins for the past ten years, so we’re hoping to put in a good performance, ” said Jessica, who will also be running in next year’s London Marathon.
