On popular demand...here is the medal shaped as a beautiful snowflake!

And like any typical running event of this kind, I was overtaken by women running and pushing a buggy on many occasions :-)

Thanks Dave.

It seems like no matter how fast you run, you are always going to get overtaken by some woman pushing a buggy :-(

Thanks IR.

There were an amazing number of kids - all dressed as Santas - at the event!

It was such a wonderful event!

I think the number of photographers was nearly the same as the number of runners :-) xxx

Beautiful. Be very proud of that one.

I was overtaken by a man pushing a toddler on one of those sit on scooter things

CG2 mentioned that these scooter things must be motorised...that would explain them overtaking us :-)

From photographs of other Santa Dashes, I think this is one of the biggest one. I am sure she will enjoy it :-)

Our event had a 'catch the pudding' to win money for charity. Apparently grabbing him as he laps you doesn't count.....
