Suits you watch 500 Santas enjoying a yule jog at Perth Christmas fun run

The spectacle of over 500 santas running through the streets of Perth brought a smile to the faces of Christmas shoppers today.

A new event for Perth’s Winter Festival, the 5km fun run was started from outside Perth Concert Hall by Provost Liz Grant.

The route took the runners along Mill Street, Kinnoull Street, High Street and Tay Street before crossing Queen’s Bridge and continuing along Dundee Road, Gowrie Street and over Perth Bridge. After a final stretch on Tay Street, the route ended with a circuit of the North Inch.Click here for a full photo gallery by The Courier’s Steve MacDougall.Video by Richard Burdge
