SUTHERLAND Shire residents will be among the 5000 or so people taking part in this year's Variety The Children's Charity Santa Fun Run on Sunday, December 6, at Circular Quay.
The event aims to raise $250,000 for children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.
Variety is calling on people to rally their workmates, friends and family to dress up as "Claus for a cause" for the fun run.
Cost is $40 for adults and $20 for children. The fun run starts at 8.30am at First Fleet Park, next to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Festivities on the day will include a Christmas village, giant snow dome, snow machine, DJ and #santassquad selfie.
Top fundraisers will be rewarded with a VIP breakfast at the start line.
