In short: Good atmosphere but could be better organised
In full: Bad weather held off. The warm up was such good fun. Disappointed that I had no goody bag they had run out (it only took me 14 mins to run/jog the route) and as you had to pre-enter I cannot understand why they had run out.

There was also no bag storage area, which for a winter run, in a santa suit was not too good either.

Overall good atmosphere and I would do it next year, but needs a little more organisation.

In short: Great fun and thoroughly enjoyable
In full: It was good to be back in Cardiff, to race again and of course to be part of the Hearts First Santa Jog, which was wonderful fun with such beautiful surroundings to race in.

In short: Good laugh, Very friendly
In full: Its for a good cause (British Heart Foundation). A lap in the park. Nothing demanding. Do it for a laugh! The aerobics session for a warm up was a scream with 500 Santas doing the grapevine.
