The 2nd annual Cranleigh Santa Dash saw fun runners of all ages tackle a 5km or 10km route around the village this morning.

Organised by Rotary Club of Cranleigh, Cranleigh Sunflowers and Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce, and sponsored by Informed Choice Independent Financial Planners, the event raised more than £1,000 which will be distributed equally to Park Mead, Cuthbert Mayne, Cranleigh Infants and Ewhurst Infants primary schools.

Runners were treated to a very special warm up led by Lucy Bushnell from Cranleigh Sunflowers, doing their best to keep up with exercises linked to lines in the 12 Days of Christmas.

The event was officially started by Father Christmas himself, who (with help from Cranleigh Lions) made his way down from the North Pole especially for the Santa Dash.
