Hundreds of Santa Clauses are set to race through Gibraltar’s streets once again during a festive fundraiser on Tuesday 3rd December. 

Organised by Gibraltar’s Carpe Diem Running Club, the 3km Santa Dash is now in its fourth year and will be raising funds for GBC’s Open Day. 

Last year’s event saw around 150 Santas running through the city centre – raising £725 for charity. 

A spokesman for the Carpe Diem Running Club, said: “Last year was our largest Santa Dash to date and we’re hoping for another record-breaking event. 

“Once again we’ll be encouraging runners to dress up in festive fancy dress by offering prizes for the best male, female and child’s outfit. 

“Like last year, everyone who crosses the finish line will get a free commemorative wine glass - filled with wine of course! For non-drinkers and children, there will be soft drinks, chocolates and non-alcoholic wine. What's more, there will be jamon and cheese to help replace all those calories burned during the festive run! 

“This year we will also have the Gibraltar Scouts Band playing Christmas songs during the event. It’s a great way to get into the Christmas spirit, after all, it’s not every day you see 150 Santa Clauses running through town. So, this year we want to see even more Santas take up the dash, or dawdle, for a great cause.” 

Starting at 6.30pm, the run will begin and finish outside the Wine Shop at 202/204 Main Street. Entry is £5 per person and all the money goes to charity. 

Carpe Diem has teamed up with Bassadone Motors, who are sponsoring the wine glasses and The Wine Shop, who are sponsoring the wine, ham and cheese. 

GBC Open Day is an annual fundraiser, which sees the whole community on the Rock come together to raise thousands of pounds for local causes.
