On Sunday 11 December, Preston Marina will come to life with loungewear of all colours, patterns and creatures as Pennine Events Ltd and local radio charity Cash for Kids bring you Onesie Run UK – a unique opportunity to wear your Onesie somewhere other than at home.

The local event management company, Pennine Events Ltd is delighted to be supporting Cash for Kids and raising awareness of this great cause that provides children across our district with much appreciated gifts and support every year. Last Christmas the team also supported the charity with their present drop off station at their Bamber Bridge based offices.

Starting and finishing at Baffito’s waterfront restaurant, the route will follow the marina’s edge, offering three routes to run, jog or walk: 2.5km, 5km or 7km. A lively event village and a fantastic warm-up and entertainment will get those onesies moving before participants set off around the Marina. There will be a selfie station half way around the route, competition prizes and all participants will receive a medal, it is expected to be a fabulous, festive and fun day for the whole family.

Cash for Kids will be on site at the event to welcome and cheer participants along as well as to collect gift donations for the campaign. Their mission is to respond to the needs of children in Lancashire, and they aspire to enable all children to live life to the full and achieve their individual potential. The campaign includes delivering initiatives for sick and underprivileged children raising money for local children and young people who are suffering from abuse or neglect and those who are disabled and have special needs or who simply need extra care or guidance. All the money raised on behalf of Rock FMs Cash for Kids stays in the area it was raised in, providing a helping hand when and where it is needed most.

With local businesses already getting involved, including Baffito’s Restaurant and Energi Trampoline Park, the event is a great opportunity to bring the community together at Christmas.
