The Great Scottish Santa Run

Now this made me feel Christmassy! One of my work colleagues travelled down from Edinburgh last week, and I read in the Daily Record that the city had hosted 1500 runners, dressed in Santa costumes, in order to raise money for the terminally ill. The sight of that many bright red costumes cannot help to bring a smile to the face.

I read that the world record attendance is 3445 in Powys, Wales, but was also surprised to read that they held one in Las Vegas too. I know it's only about 20 degrees out there at the moment, but that's hot enough to run a 5k, with a full Santas outfit on. Still, a good cause, and the costumes are even provided for you.
