ChrisRunsChristmas: The Final Mile

Calling all young runners, walkers and Christmas adventurers!

Chris has run an incredible 1,000 miles in just 17 days to raise money for Cash for Kids North East — and now we want the children of Great Park and the surrounding community to help him complete his final mile!

On 28 November at 2:30pm, children and families are invited to join Chris for a special Final Mile around Great Park, finishing together at the Great Park Community Centre.

This is all about having fun, getting active and being part of something truly special. Whether your little ones are speedy runners, happy joggers or prefer a festive walk, everyone is welcome. There’s no pressure to race — just come along, enjoy the atmosphere and help Chris make that final mile one to remember!

🎅 Dress for Christmas! Santa hats, Christmas jumpers, festive fancy dress and plenty of sparkle are all encouraged.

After 17 days and 1,000 miles, Chris won't be crossing that finish line alone. He'll have the children and families of the local community right there with him.

Once the final mile is complete, the celebrations continue at the Great Park Community Centre, with food vans, activities, entertainment and plenty more for everyone to enjoy.

Come along, get involved and help us give Chris the biggest and most festive finish possible!

1,000 miles. 17 days. 1 final mile. ❤️

Let's bring Chris home together! 🎄🏃‍♂️🎅
