DISCOUNT CARDS
Join Solihull BID to spread plenty of festive cheer this December by donning a Santa suit and completing the Jingle Bell Jog to raise money for homeless charity Change Into Action.
The Jingle Bell Jog, taking place on Sunday 10th December, will see Solihull town centre swamped with hundreds of Santas.
Run, walk, dance, jog or jingle your way around our family-friendly 2.5km fun run through Solihull town centre. Don’t worry about the training, this festive run is about dressing up and coming together with friends and family.
Every single person who completes the 2.5km course will be given a special Santa Suit in which to complete the jog, and a Santa medal and Solihull BID hessian bag at the finish line.
Entrants will also be treated to a range of discounts in some of our brilliant food and drink venues so you can refuel after completing the course!
As well as having plenty of fun, your entrance fee will be helping to raise vital funds for the Change Into Action charity. Registrations cost £12 for adults; £7 for children under 12. Please note children’s suits start at age 4, if your child is younger than 4 but would still like a suit please purchase a child’s ticket, otherwise they can still take part for free but will not receive a suit or medal. If your child is age 4 – 6 but would fit better in a 7 – 9 suit, please purchase a 7- 9 suit.
You can also help by raising money with your Jingle Bell Dog! Your pooch can join you on the day for free but if they also want to get into the Festive spirit, you can enter them for £7 and choose between a Christmas scarf, bandana or bowtie on the day!
Change into Action is an Alternative Giving Scheme in Solihull, supporting specialist organisations and outreach services working to change the circumstances of rough sleepers and those at risk of becoming rough sleepers. Working alongside agencies such as the West Midlands Combined Authority, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and West Midlands Police, Solihull BID hopes to make a lasting difference.
Registrations are open to both adults and children and your entrance fee will include a Santa suit to wear on the day, a Santa medal and a Solihull BID hessian bag.
The race starts and ends in Mell Square, Solihull. You will be able to register and collect your suit between 10.15am – 11.15am. The race will start at 11.30am after a fun warm up.
Santa Claus really is coming to town!
This is the ‘Christmas Spirit’ in a nutshell. A great event bringing family and friends together in a fun environment, knowing that as they jog, they are also helping those less fortunate at this time of year.
