Babies in Buggies, wheelchairs and people of all abilities  all got involved in the 1km route.

The 5km also saw runners, joggers, walkers, Nordic walkers and those who just wanted to enjoy a walk in the great atmosphere of this festive event. Dogs were welcomed on both routes.

The Mayor of Reading started both runs off and the Reading Football Club mascots, Kingsley and Queensley welcomed all the runners back home across the line.

All proceeds from the event will go to Sport in Mind - a local Reading-based charity offering activity sessions to improve the lives of those with mental health problems and The Reading and Wokingham Multiple Sclerosis Society, which assists people with MS or being affected by MS live life to its fullest.

Whether you were part of the run, or simply watching the Santas run through the town, we would love to see any snaps you have caught!
