Put runners in fancy dress and suddenly a run around the park becomes 10 times more fun!

This is definitely the case with the London Santa Run! Join 2,000 others Santa's in our annual 'Red & White' bearded charge around Battersea Park in this 6k festive charity fun run.

The Santa Run is organised to raise funds for Disability Snowsport UK, a national charity helping people with disabilities to access the thrill of snowsports.

Children and adults with a range of disabilities including cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, visual impairment and autism can access programmes across the UK to enable them to make friends, improve their confidence and have fun through a sport which they would otherwise be excluded from.

If every person who runs the Santa Run raised £25, the charity will receive over £50,000 in funding, allowing them to make a significant difference in the lives of people with disabilities. This year we are offering a prize to the highest fundraiser and goody bags for those who raise over £250 each. To find out more about the charities work watch their DVD at www.vimeo.com/6869679 or visit www.disabilitysnowsport.org.uk/
