The Santa Dash is a Christmas spectacle you won't want to miss as the city centre transforms in to a sea of Santa suits, all running for charity.
In 2016 the annual 5k fun run saw around 7,500 people take to the streets in a Santa suit - all in the name of charity.
The Santa Dash has raised more than £200,000 for various charities since it 'hit the streets' in 2006 and is now a firm favourite in the city's events calendar.
This year the nominated charity is the Beatson Cancer Charity.
