Around 120 assorted Santas, elves and even a Christmas cracker turned out to take part in the annual 'Chase the Pudding' 5km Santa Fun-Run on Sunday 16th December on Weymouth beach. Dozens of entrants, of all ages, human and canine, dressed up and joined in. There was an initial warm-up by Jodie from 'Healthy Habit' before the runners set off along the beach.
All proceeds from sponsorship and collections on the day - about £2,000 in all - went to the British Heart Foundation.
The weather was extremely kind - particularly as December has been very, very wet - and there were only a few spits and spots of rain during the warm-up and, as you can see in the last picture, the sun even managed to come out for a while.
After the race the competitors were invited back to Weymouth Pavilion near the race start for a mince pie and mulled wine.
Next... the Christmas Day harbour swim and no, we're not taking part in that, either!
