Preston Santa Dash: Festive runners take over Avenham Park in aid of Rosemere Cancer Foundation

Runners and joggers braved the bad weather to take on Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s Avenham Park Cheeky Santa Dash on Saturday.

The 5k dash, run over a quick course from under the railway arches opposite the Continental pub, returned as a group event after Covid-19 restrictions last December forced it to go virtual.

This year’s dash – the eighth – was in partnership with the Central Lancs Running & Triathlon Club (CLAN). Official dash starter was Louise Harlow, who along with late husband Ben Ashworth, founded the event.
