KNUTSFORD'S inaugural Santa Dash has been cancelled due to lack of entries.

The charity event, in aid of The British Red Cross, was due to take place on The Moor on Sunday November 30.

All participants would have been given a five-piece Santa suit on the day and run, walk or jog a short two-lap dash around The Moor.

Clare Warbuton, senior community fundraiser, for the British Red Cross said “We are very upset to have to pull out of the event at this stage. This is a busy time of year and unfortunately there has not been the level of participation that we expected.

“Thank you to everyone who has been involved and supported the Santa Dash. We hope to return next year with a bigger and better event.”
