Another year, another Santa 5K. This is a very fun race. Once again
I did not make a big effort to get co workers to sign up. I need to do that!
Miscommunication with my son meant I ran it alone. It was still a hoot. There is just something
about seeing all those Santas in one place - RUNNING! There were 1700 of us out there.
Church Street is packed before the start. I do need to get a new suit next year.
You pay less if you are using an old suit but mine looks like Santa
vomited on it last year. It's cheap to begin with so I think I have to say 3 years is enough.
This picture is from the pub that sponsors the race, kind of a cool shot.
I always run slow slow slow in this race and this year was no
exception. Above is the steepest hill. Santas thin out but
of course you are still surrounded.
I loved this little Santa. His father was just pushing him along.
At one point they were pulled over while the little guy had
a bit of a meltdown but I saw them finish so all was good.
Back at the finish and there is just a lovely picture of me below.
I was way overdressed, the opposite of last Sunday. I visited Jameson
and Jaxon after which is always a good way to end a race.

That always looks like so much fun. :)
I always say I'll do one of these but so far I haven't. Ours is this weekend and the temp is forecast to be 5. I'll think I'll pass again.
The pictures of all the Santas look great. We have a Santa race here now but the thought of running in a suit in our hot temperatures just isn't so inviting.
Fun! At least it is cold enough to run comfortably as Santa!
Fun, fun, fun! Our local running club has an annual Where's Waldo 5k in the fall where everyone who enters gets a Waldo suit - they are going after the Guinness record next year for the most Waldos. We were out of town this year otherwise we would have done it!
It looks like a blast! I remember when Andrew, a guy I used to coach, did a Santa race in Canada. Glad you had a good time! :)
I love your pictures from this race - it looks like a great time!
So much fun! You look great.
It is a fun race. 3 years is my santa suit's limit too,
What an awesome race! Love all your photos.
That looks like a hoot!
Wow! 1700 people in one place who know whether you have been bad or good...
Looks fun! Merry Christmas!
That looks like a really fun run!
This race always looks like a blast! :)
