It is a short jog for the fit people among you – but beware – the suit (and that beard!) makes you very hot when you’re running!! The Edinburgh Reporter’s best advice is not to wear too much underneath!
We also love this bit on the Santa Run website where they give you advice too:-“It is advised that an additional belt is brought along to keep the trousers up, to ensure they will stay secure throughout the run. Please carry on you an emergency contact number.” (presumably in case you lose your trousers….!)
It is a great event and you can find out more here.
