RUNNERS will don familiar red suits for an annual fundraising event next month.

The Santa Fun Run, hosted by Wimborne Rotarians, will take place for the ninth year at Badbury Rings.

Participants can choose to take on courses of either two or four miles during the event, which will take place on Sunday, December 10.

More than 100 runners tackled last year's course.

The day will kick off with a warm-up session at 10.30am before the main event begins at 11am.

Those who join in can run, jog or even walk their dog.

Rotarian Alan Griffiths, who is organising the run this year, said: "I hope people will sign up for what always proves to be an enjoyable event.

"We can accept entries up to the day and are aiming to add to the £45,000 previously raised for good causes over the past eight years."

Admission is £10, or £6 for children aged eight to 14, to include a Santa suit.
