The Bridges shopping Centre Reindeer Dash returns for another year, with Foundation of Light set to benefit from raised funds, and you can enter here: Reindeer Dash 2023
On Sunday 3rd December, children and the young at heart can take part in the ever-popular Reindeer Dash at the Bridges in support of Wearside-based charities, Red Sky Foundation & Foundation of Light.
Everyone who takes part gets a set of antlers and a red nose and can then warm up with some festive moves thanks to WearFit, before taking on the 1k run around the centre. Once completed, each reindeer will receive a medal from Santa and a ticket to visit him in his Grotto that afternoon.
Children's entry (12 and under) costs £5. And for all you adults young-at-heart... you can join the fun too. Enter the run for £7 and receive your own reindeer nose and antlers whilst knowing your donation will support local causes. Any child 5 or under must be accompanied by a paying adult on the course.
