One hundred eighty-eight runners donned Santa hats and festive attire to participate in the event, braving freezing winds on their outward routes over the beautiful Lewes Downs to Ditchling and enjoying the winter sun on their return.
Participants chose to run 5k, 10k, or 15k distances. Charlotte Nash and the Rock Choir provided musical entertainment. "Father Christmas", Michael Palmer started the race with an enthusiastic "Ho Ho Go!"
