Thousands of Santas raced through Oxford centre this morning as part of the city's annual festive fun run.
The race, held every year in aid of Helen and Douglas House, saw more than 2,000 people dress up in red and white to run two miles for charity.
Volunteers dressed as elves were on hand at the end too hand out water and mince pies.
The Cox Family took part for the second year and mum Chris said it was "brilliant".
She said: "It's a real family orientated event. It was great. We'll definitely do it next year."
The mum took part with husband Paul and children Trinity, nine and Willow seven.
Sarah Leach took part with her niece and nephew George, 13 and Matilda, 12, and dogs Reggie and Izzy, who was dressed in a fairy outfit. She said: "We did it last but it was more fun this year with the dogs!"
The Santa run began at 9am, with the first runners finishing within 10 minutes.
