Santa Run is back
Written by Local Democracy Reporter, Paul Kelly
Santa will be on the run in Peebles this Christmas if councillors rubber-stamp an application next week.
Peebles Christmas Lights Association is bringing back its Santa Run on Sunday, December 13.
The plan is that 100 adults and up to 200 children will dress up as Father Christmas and run and walk around the path network in the town’s Haylodge Park.
All the money raised from the family fun run will go towards adding festive sparkle around the town this Yuletide.
When members of Peebles Common Good Fund Sub-Committee meet on Wednesday, November 18, they will be asked to formally agree the use of Common Good land to stage the event.
A spokesperson for the lights association said: “This year we will be selling more tickets as we sold out fast last year.
“This is very much a fun run so you can walk, run, scoot, skip or whatever you wish.”
