Hundreds of individuals participated in the yearly Santa Dash event held along a seafront in East Sussex. Runners, attired as Santa Claus, completed a 5-kilometer run that commenced at 10:30 GMT on Saturday from the Peace Statue in Brighton, located opposite Hove Lawns. The event had originally been scheduled for 7 December but was postponed due to Storm Darragh. The dash served as a fundraiser for Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, which is the charitable organization supporting the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital. Event organisers stated that the Santa Dash event was “the most fun you can have in Brighton”. Participants were encouraged to walk, jog, or run, with a virtual event also being offered. The race route extended 2.5 kilometers west along the seafront esplanade to Hove Lagoon before turning around and concluding back at the Peace Statue. Similar events have occurred across the UK in recent weeks, including one in Liverpool earlier this month that saw over 8,000 people complete the activity.
