All proceeds raised from the event will help Galloway's provide life changing support to local people living with sight loss.

Rebecca Hetherington, fund-raising assistant, said: “We are really excited about this year’s Santa Dash. We already have a record number of people signed up, so it is looking to be a really successful day. The day is more than just a run, so if the dash itself doesn’t enthuse you, everyone is more than welcome to come to the event afterwards at Howick House for food, drink and festive fun."

Entry is £12 for adults, £7 for children.

A family ticket is £30 and dogs and under twos are free.

There are still plenty of places. To enter visit www.galloways.org.uk/events.
