- Leicester City supporters and Alan 'The Birch' Birchenall were at the Santa Fun Run in Loughborough!- Filbert Fox was also in attendance as thousands of runners raised money for charity- Funds were collected by members of the Club's Supporter Engagement team for the LCFC Foxes Foundation- The Birch was once again delighted to see the enthusiasm of the Blue Army
Since 2011, the LCFC Foxes Foundation, with the support and generosity of Leicester City supporters, have been raising vital funds for a number of locally-based charities.
The family-based event saw thousands of people dressed as Santa run, jog and stroll through Loughborough, with all adults taking part for the Foxes Foundation receiving a special blue Santa suit.
Supporters travelled from far and wide across Leicestershire to take part in the event while the yearly run also allowed guests to bring their pets - with an award for the best dressed cats and dogs.
The Birch said: “This is a fantastic annual event which I have really grown to love over the years. It’s a great way for our fantastic fans to have some festive fun while raising money for great causes at the same time.
“In recent years, it’s been more of a wobble for me, but what hasn’t changed is the incredible support that the Blue Army have shown each time of year around Christmas time.”
