❤️ ABOUT ROBIN ❤️
Robin passed away unexpectedly on 24th December 2023, whilst out running.
Robin loved Christmas — especially wearing his beloved elf attire. He loved running and, most of all, he loved people.
So what could be more special than bringing together the three things he loved most, in his memory ❤️
Quite simply, to know Robin was to love him. ❤️
This Christmas chase is a chance for us to celebrate Robin, remember his wonderful spirit and keep his memory alive by doing the things he loved — Christmas, running and being surrounded by people.
Come along, dress up, have fun, make memories and help us celebrate a very special man. ❤️
Forever the Christmas Elf. ❤️
