Battersea Park: More Than 1500 Santas Take Part In Charity Fun Run (Pictures)

The Huffington Post UK     First Posted: 03/12/11 17:05 GMT   Updated: 03/12/11 18:30 GMT

Around 1600 charity runners dressed as Santa Claus took part in the Disability Snowport UK fun run in Battersea Park.

The 6 kilometre run raises funds for the charity which helps people with disabilities, including cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, visual impairment and autism, to take part in snow sports.

There was a strenuous warm-up before the event, as hundreds of Father Christmases limbered up in hats and traditional red garb.

Who won? The chap with the beard.

I always thought that Santa was a man St. Nicholas, so what are the girls doing in the picture, equality gone mad I feel.

I'm confused. I didn't read anything about a clause for the Santas. Is it a joke that I didn't pick up on? Or did *gasp* the author and editors spell Santa Claus' name wrong?
