I could hardly stop laughing as I changed into the provided Santa suit - the Square was full of Santa’s. When else would you see a Starbucks full of Santa’s. Great fun. Well organised and taking in some beautiful sights in the City, many illuminated - was a memorable run. I’d do it again for sure. | James
Well what can you say about a group of Santas running through the city? It was a casual, fun run, loved running over the Millenium Bridge and passing many confused people on South Bank. I did get lost at one point, this isn't a fancy race but just a fun run with good holiday cheer. | Melissa
