The Medway Rotary Santa Fun Run is returning to the Historic Dockyard in Chatham after two years.

The popular event raises funds for the club's children’s hospice holidays which provides Disneyland Paris breaks for ill youngsters and their families.

The Fun Run will take place on Sunday, December 18, from 9am, and will include professionally timed 5km and 10km runs.

Attractions include the Bloco Fogo Samba Band and MTD Disco.

It will be limited to 500 runners. For more information and to sign up, click here.

Organisers described it as a "unique opportunity to run past over 400 years of naval history".

"You will run through cobbled streets, pass historic buildings and slipways that are now used in the backdrop to many movies and TV productions.

"So, make the run, watch films that include Bridgerton, Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, The Mummy, Children of Men, Les Miserables, Sherlock Holmes, Operation Mincemeat, The World Is Not Enough, The Golden Compass, Peterloo, and Mr Selfridge, so you can say, ‘hey, I ran past there’.

"You will also pass the RNLI historic lifeboat collection, the historic railway, the Ropery that itself is over 1,100 feet long, and see HMS Gannet built in 1878, HMS Cavalier 1944, and HMS Ocelot the last submarine built in Chatham in 1962."

Last year's run was cancelled last minute due to fears over the Omicron variant.

Refunds were offered to those who booked a place.
