Hundreds of runners are once again set to take part in the Gloucester Santa Fun Run this year.

Last year, more than 400 people dressed as Santa and other festive fancy dress to run through the city, raising over £2,400 for charity.

This year's event takes place on Saturday, December 14 from 10.30am to 11.30am with registration opening in Kings Square outside the old Debenhams building at 9.30am.

The Glos Santa Fun Run is organised by the Rotary Club of Gloucester and Matt Cass, one of the organisers, said: "With a month to go, we have over 200 already signed up but I would like to fill Kings Square with Santas and other festive costumes."

So make sure to put on your Santa hat and snood or a full Santa outfit and run, walk or be pushed round a 1k or 5k route of your choice this Christmas in aid of local charities.

There are still plenty of hats left and there are even eco-friendly medals this year.

This event is sponsored and supported by Gloucester BID, Nettl and Cass-Stephens Insurances Ltd.
