Now in its 20th year, the Edinburgh Santa Run is an annual festive fundraiser organised by local charity, When You Wish Upon a Star, with all proceeds going to help grant wishes for children living with life threatening illnesses.
More than 400 people arrived at the Ross Band Stand this morning where there was a festive warm up before the fun run began at 11am.
Here are 14 pictures of the event.
