Hundreds of Santas raced through Orpington this morning for the annual festive dash.
People of all ages donned their red and white costumes, running 2km from Priory Gardens to Market Square.
The event began at 10.30am, kicking-off with a mass Christmas-themed warm up, before the race commenced half-an-hour later.
