Write a commentIt's just two weeks to the 2018 Newry Santa Fun Run, which takes to Hill Street on Thursday 22 November at 5.30pm sharp. As usual it's part of the Annual Christmas Lights Switch on and the beginning of a great event for all the family. It has become an important part of the City’s festive calendar attracting huge business and community support for the fun dander down Hill Street.
Announcing details of the Santa Run, Colm Shannon, Chief Executive Officer of Newry Chamber commented: “As always, Newry Chamber of Commerce and Trade along with the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council will be supporting the event with the Southern Area Hospice as beneficiary. We are encouraging businesses, families, friends and work colleagues to take part in this year’s Santa Run.”
The Santa Fun Run will commence at 5.30pm sharp and follow a course along the events space on Hill Street to be back in time for Santa’s arrival and the official Christmas Light Switch on.
All monies raised from this year run will be in aid of Southern Area Hospice Services and the event has been kindly sponsored by CGDM Construction. Caroline Grant, Marketing Manager, CGDM Construction said ““We are honoured to be sponsoring the Santa Fun Run again this year. It is always such a fun event and for a great cause that touches so many. We hope everyone will support this brilliant event”.
