Come and join me for a charitable fun run in the centre of Edinburgh. It's not far, and there's lots of families, so not everyone is running!

Registration fee is £15 for adults (which includes santa suit, hat and beard), and the charity also request a minimum of £10 fundraising/donation (which you can add when you sign up).

**Registration: 9:30am – 10:45am / Starts at 11am.**
Santa suits are collected at the registration point. They are one size, so I needed to bring a belt, as the flimsy one supplied is more for decoration and fell apart when I tried to tie it), and you may need something to stop the trousers falling down! If you don't want a suit, you don't need to collect it - but maybe wear a santa hat instead!).
Last year, there were people registering on the day but the price was higher to enter on the day.

It is an awesome bit of fun - seeing lots of santas (including doggos!) for a double loop jog around Princes Street Gardens West, accompanied by santa-wearing bagpipe players!

**WHERE /WHEN TO MEET - and afterwards**
I aim to be there by 10.30 to pick up my suit, as I don't want to hang out in the cold too long! I suggest we try to rendezvous on the sloping bit opposite the Band Stand at about 10.45am (try and spot me in my santa outfit ha ha), and maybe we can go to Caley Picture House for a coffee/lunch afterwards - I assume most of us will finish 2.5k by 11.30am whether walking or running.

**BAGS**
There isn't really anywhere to put a bag, so bring something light (eg if you have a rain mac etc) that you can easily carry as you go around the course.

**BLURB from their website**
West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh is ready to celebrate 20 years of welcoming our Santa’s, Elves and Santa Paws for our much loved family fundraising event!

Santa Run events are not just a great day out for family, friends and colleagues to dress up as Santa on a crisp Winter’s morning and take on 2.5km of West Princes Street Gardens, but they are also a great way for you to fundraise for a worthwhile cause.

All money raised from the Edinburgh Santa Fun Run & Walk will be used to help fund Wishes creating the most magical of memories for our Wish children who are aged 4-16 and who live with a life threatening illness.

This year we will be asking for all Adult Santa’s to raise a minimum sponsorship of £10 to help grant a Wish.
