Santa run returns tomorrow

Santa and his helpers from the former Apex Club of Castlemaine will be out and about again tomorrow, Christmas Day, visiting the young and young at heart across the region.
The dedicated volunteers have once again been busy putting CovidSafe measures in place to ensure the popular run continues with pre-packed lollies and icy poles at the ready to spread some much needed Christmas cheer.
Santa and his volunteers will undertake five runs across the region.
Past Apexian Stephen Cooper said their volunteers gather from 6.30am and will hit the road from around 7-7.30 on runs throughout Castlemaine and Campbells Creek, out to Chewton and Elphinstone and Guildford. With housing estates across the region growing in size they may be a little later than usual as they get around to everyone. Look for signage in your town for times or listen for the bells, horns and Ho, Ho, Hos! Donations are welcome to keep this proud 84 year tradition going!
