LOCALS are being told to keep an eye out for Santa on Christmas Eve when he makes his way across the Surf Coast on a Torquay Fire Brigade firetruck.<\/p>\n

The popular Santa Run returns on December 24 and is expected to attract over 1,000 people to various locations throughout Torquay and Jan Juc.<\/p>\n

The Torquay Fire Brigade will run two Santa Run’s; one through Torquay and another through Jan Juc.<\/p>\n

Both runs will start at 2.30pm, and Santa will stay at each spot for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Torquay CFA first lieutenant, Cameron Martin said excitement was high for the annual event.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been doing it for close to ten years now and it’s just a wonderful way to engage with the community,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It just continues to get bigger and bigger, with more and more people turning out to each spot.<\/p>\n

“Last year we had close to 300 at main stops like Bob Petit Reserve and the Pirate Ship Park Reserve, and I’m sure this year will no different.<\/p>\n

“We can’t wait to bring joy to the kids and their families.”<\/p>\n

The Torquay Fire Brigade Facebook page will give live location updates throughout the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Staff may be called out to an emergency at any time, however, will do their best to keep the Santa Run going regardless.<\/p>\n
