My wife and I took part on the Exeter Santa Run 5K yesterday, and it was great fun.
It ended up being my 6th day of running in a row, which isn't something I usually do, but it was all fine. Proceeds went to a local charity, and for the entry fee runners got a Santa suit, a timed event and a decent medal to finish. I'd definitely do this event again.
Me limbering up at the start:
At the start line, and it was a cracking day for running. These suits were very hot though, which made me think again about what those people who do a marathon in a gorilla suit must go through!
There was some bling at the end. My wife pointed out that the medals were in the shape of a Christmas tree bauble, so when we got him we tool the ribbons off the medal and stuck ours on our tree, which we had put up the day before.
