In short: Always one for the December calendar ... kicks starts your Sunday morning!
In full: 4th time I have done this run ... ideal distance for those who have just taken up running with a few inclines! Fair play and well done to all those that dressed up ... makes the run more relaxed, enjoyable and fun.

In short: Merry Christmas!
In full: Weather did nothing to spoil the fun. Slick organisation and excellent police support meant a quick dash round the local roads was trouble free. Thank you Swanley!

In short: Great costumes, decent time, bad hangover!
In full: Some great costumes, this really is a very friendly race, one for everyone I think!

Will be back next year and probably with full costume!

In short: A great way to get into the festive swing!
In full: Excellently organised race as always with more fancy dress costumes than you can shake a Christmas pud at. The course isn't a pushover by any stretch of the imagination but the 4.2 miles seem to fly by as loads to see and much banter to be had along the course.
