Santa's asked for sponsorship total before dash

The organisers of this year’s Santa Dash are asking competitors to let them know how much money they’ve raised in sponsorship.

Isle of Man Bank wants to get a clear idea of how much money is expected to be raised before the event takes place next Tuesday, December 18th.

Between £10,000 and £12,000 is usually raised with over 100 Santa’s running around the streets of Douglas.

Anyone wishing to take part must be dressed in a full Santa costume, be at least 18 years old and be running on behalf of a Manx registered charity.

Entry forms and a sponsorship total must be returned to the bank by December 17th.
