City in the Community, which is celebrating its 28th year, is encouraging Blues fans to head to the Etihad Campus this Christmas to help empower lives through football.
In its fifth year, Santa Stroll will take place on Sunday 14 December among an array of festive-themed events at City Square from 9.30am, including a rodeo reindeer, festive feasts and the opportunity to meet Father Christmas in Santa’s Grotto!
With thousands expected to take to the sky blue 5km course, the route will feature a pit stop to the first team dressing room and for the first time, City strollers will use the bridge which leads into the newly built City Football Academy.
Mike Green, Head of City in the Community said: “We are excited to see the return of our iconic Santa Stroll for its fifth birthday.
“City in the Community has worked for more than 28 years with the most in-need people across Greater Manchester so by taking part, you’ll be raising money that will make a big difference in the local area.
“Our course is fully accessible for push chairs, wheelchairs and sleighs so we are calling on all City fans to get involved and help raise money for the Foundation.”
The entry price for the festive stroll is £25 for a family (two adults and two children), £10 for adults and £5 for children. Admission includes your own sky blue Santa suit, a race number and all young people will be awarded a goodie bag upon finishing the walk.
