18 great photos of the Edinburgh Santa Fun Run and Walk in Princes Street Gardens

Hundreds of Santas took part in this year’s Edinburgh Santa Fun Run and Walk in Princes Street Gardens earlier today.

Celebrating 21 years of welcoming Santas and Elves for the much loved family fundraising event in Edinburgh city centre, the event kicked off at 11am on Sunday, December 7.

Participants of all aged could either run, jog or walk around the 2.5km circuit of West Princes Street Gardens, whilst raising money for When You Wish Upon A Star.

All money raised from the Edinburgh Santa Fun Run and Walk will be used to help fund Wishes creating the most magical of memories for children who are aged 4-16 and who live with a life threatening illness.
