For those who want to get on the good side of the Jolly Gent this Christmas season what better way than taking part in the sixth annual Santa Rec Run Saturday, Nov. 25.
Presented by Hoodoo Adventures and the Bears Den Restaurant, this is a family-friendly event with five and 10-kilometre races and a whole host of fun in between. As well, this year a 1.5 kilometre run has been added for the kids.
Along that course there will be a variety of “fun stops” including fishing for candy canes and a Santa boot toss. Participants will also get their own Santa hat to keep.
