Runners donned red suits, white beards and Santa hats to dress up as Father Christmas and celebrate the annual event.
Event goers braved the wind and rain to take on the 5km run and raise money for children’s charity Rockinghorse in the process.
Dawn and Chris, who came down from Gatwick for the event, raised over £150 prior to the race.
Dawn said: “It is really important and you realise it a lot more when it’s cold in December.
“Who doesn’t want to run dressed as Santa!”

Carolyn, who said she was in her seventh year of running, added: “I’ve seen more people when its sunny – and it has been every other year – but the amount of people who have come out despite the weather is great to see.”
The fun run, which started next to Hove Lawns before heading to Hove Lagoon and looping back round, saw hundreds of red-suited runners this year.
Previously the event had raised more than £7,000 for Rockinghorse in their mission to support hospitals such as the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton and the Trevor Mann baby unit.
