A Manchester charity is appealing for supporters to join a Christmas fun run to raise money for children's medical equipment.

Manchester-based MedEquip4Kids is looking for participants to join the annual Manchester United Foundation Santa Run.

Those who sign up to run for MedEquip4Kids will help the charity raise funds to provide paediatric medical equipment and facilities for hospitals and community health teams.

Participants can choose from a 5km run or a 2km family fun run. Runners will set off from the Old Trafford forecourt on Sir Matt Busby Way and finish at the stadium.

Registration costs £10 for adults, £5 for children or £25 for families. The entry fee includes a Santa hat for children or a full suit for adults.
