In short: Running in a Christmas wonderland!
In full: A really good fun event this one. An achievable distance for most people. I brought a couple of friends along for their first race to this and they loved it - especially the fancy dress!

In short: Running for fun, kick starts your Christmas
In full: Rumour has it that some people were actually running it seriously! What's that all about. Loved the running Christmas Trees, Gorilla, Oversize chick, Graham's mincing dancers and everyone having a good time.

In short: Twice the fun
In full: Did this last year too and enjoyed it. At 4.2 miles, not too far. Gave 100% but only improved on last year by 2 mins. Back to the drawing board. (This year maybe weighed down with my santa hat)!

In short: Can't put a Xmas Pud in the medal cabinet!!
In full: Not enough people in fancy dress (unlike the one in Folkestone the previous week), but good atmosphere. I ran in full Santa kit - OK no sack of toys. Well-organised.
