HERE are all the photos from the Santa Fun Run, which took place today, December 1, in Winchester.

Starting outside the Guildhall, runners set off at 9am around a five-kilometre course, with a two-kilometre option thrown in as well.

The organisers are hoping to raise more than £100,000 for Naomi House, the Winchester-based charity.

In this year's edition, 750 runners took part, all dressed in the bespoke Santa-style shirt that comes which has replaced the traditional Santa suit for which the fun run is known. This, the organisers explained, is to help the environment.

 Paul Morgan, director of fundraising at Naomi House, said: "Well, other than being a bit wet, it's a magnificent event. We were sold out a few weeks ago, with 750 people taking part, all of whom are helping raise funds which is really important for us. So the crucial part of this is that we love putting it on, but the money that's raised is what matters most."

Gemma Rolfe, who also looks after fundraising for the event, explained that the event is growing each year.

Speaking about the money raised, she said: "Hopefully we should see more than £100,000. We're in our 15th year and we get so many returning participants, which is great. And this year, obviously we have brand new t-shirts, so we have no Santa suits."
