In short: Glorious weather, great atmosphere, fab day
In full: Nothing else quite like it in the calendar. Very well organised, beautiful setting and brilliantly bizarre feeling watching 1600 santas do an aerobic warm-up in unison! I took my non-runner friend and even she enjoyed it immensely. Santa suit a great keepsake. Will definitely come back next year.

In short: Great fun and excellent event
In full: Battersea park is a great location and a lovely flat route. We were also blessed with wonderful weather!
So much fun seeing everyone dressed as santa and thought the orgnisation at the beginning was great (although those who arrived a bit later had to queue for ages). Very funny seeing everyone dressed as santa and a great race for beginners. My friends and I will be there next year.

In short: Great fun, nice route, and you get to dress up
In full: This was a really good fun race. The distance was not too long, and the route was very nice. I think the only two downsides to this were that the route got a little narrow in places (particularly on the 2nd lap) for so many people. Also after the finish there weren't enough attendents handing out water etc. and there werent really any signs to direct you back to the bag storage. Overall, this was fantastic. I will most definately do this again, it's only a shame that I'll have to wait until next year.

In short: Great race to get you in the spirit of the season.
In full: Organization needs to be improved. Signage and directions were confusing and the race started before everyone got their Santa Suits and registered.
