Hundreds of runners made their way round Preston Docks in the winter sunshine to raise thousands for charity.
This year’s Preston Santa Dash returned to the city after spending a few years in Lostock Hall.
St Catherine’s Hospice organises the run and chose to bring it back to the city, choosing a route around the Docks.
The three-mile run saw Santas of all ages compete and at £10 entry it’s sure to have raised plenty of cash for the work of St Cath’s.
