Members of a beginners’ running club will don their Santa hats to raise money for a children’s charity.

Sarah Miller set up Walkfit Runfit in Clevedon to encourage people to get active and help reduce their stress levels.

Sara and her partner Tom are now hoping to put their prodigies to the test in the 2km Santas On The Run event in Bristol.

The event on December 9 will see them raise money for Children’s Hospice South West.

Sarah said: “We all know change is hard. We get set in our ways and get caught in a cycle which seems harder and harder to break out of.

“I understand these difficulties and found a brisk walk helped me deal with the stresses and strains of life.”

She set up the group to help others like herself and to encourage health and social interaction.
