Don your Santa Suits and be a clause for a cause this Sunday at Variety NT’s Sunday Territorian Santa Fun Run.
You can run, walk, roll, skip or sleigh along the 2km Santa Fun Run route this Sunday 25 November 2018. The event starts at the Darwin Convention Centre and finishes in the Darwin Waterfront Parklands. Registrations open from 6.30am, and the race starts at 8am.
Welcome in the silly season and raise much needed funds for Variety NT – a children’s charity committed to empowering Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs. Funds raised from the event will go towards supporting the Variety Starfish Swim Program, a free learn to swim program for kids with disabilities.
“It’s a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas and kick off the celebrations for the festive season,” Katrina Fong Lim, General Manager from Variety NT said.
“This year we have a new line-up of family friendly entertainment including DJ Kev spinning tunes, Glitter & Bling face painting, a giant slip and slide to cool off plus a special visit from the jolly man in red, Santa!”
“There’ll be loads of on the spot prizes, a raffle, goodie bags and a Sunday Territorian newspaper for participants at the end of the event.”
“We are expecting around 400 Santa’s to flock to the Waterfront this Sunday and create a jolly sea of red and white. Everyone who registers will also go into the draw to win two return tickets to Townsville thanks to Airnorth.”
Santa suits are provided but participants are encouraged to be a little different and bring their own creative Christmas flare to their Christmas outfits.
The Variety Sausage Sizzle will be cooking up snags in bread & bacon and egg rolls, plus of course you can grab a cool beverage or a bite to eat at businesses located at the Darwin Waterfront.
Cost to participate is $30 per adult, $10 per child or $70 for a family.
