Thousands of Santa Clauses participated in the traditional Christmas Race, organized in France
More than 13 thousand runners wore festive costumes for the 44th Christmas Run, held near Paris. This after the traditional competition was canceled last year.
Despite the rather cold temperatures, the participants were happy to put on their Santa outfits again. Runners competed in different races over several days, but the fifth day proved to be the most popular, when over two thousand people dressed as Santa Claus or elves turned out for the ten kilometer race around the city . About 500 volunteers were involved in organizing the event.
