The emphasis is on fun and it is free to enter - all Maggie’s asks is that you raise a minimum sponsorship of £100 per person.
Adam Kent, centre fundraising manager at Maggie’s Fife said: “Christmas is a really critical time for fundraising at the centre, and we’re excited to be able to offer some fun festive fundraising activities for the whole family.
Keeping our elf family fun run virtual allows individuals and families to create their own route, perhaps somewhere special to them, where they can really get in the Christmas spirit while raising funds for the centre.
“We had a lot of fun and success with the event last year, and I know everyone’s looking forward to seeing all those outfits again.”He added: “We’re also excited to launch our Christmas raffle, especially as Smith Anderson have generously agreed match fund the first £1k raised.
