🎅1 day to Santa dash

1 would usually be for only one Santa but this year we are saying one represents one storm. Storm Darragh!

The organisers have reviewed the latest forecast and walked the routes, we are very confident that the event will go ahead as planned.

This year we have a very large heated marquee in the park, this will keep you toasty and more importantly refreshed with a selection of hot (mulled wine and Vimto) and cold drinks (fresh beer 🍺 )

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for a fun and potentially wet day!

P.s before the dash has even commenced the event has already donated over £12,000 back to the community.

Thank you

Saddleworth Round Table
