Hundreds of people dressed as Father Christmas gathered in Leeds for an annual 'Santa Dash' charity run.
The annual event is hosted by St Gemmas Hospice -- a charity that looks after patients with life-threatening illnesses.
It was a sell-out event, with 900 people dressed in red Santa outfits taking part in a 5km fun run around Leeds city centre.
There was a two-minute warm-up before the race began at 9:30GMT on Sunday 15 December.
Christmas songs were played by a brass band to keep attendees spirits up in the cold winter weather.
