The race was sponsored by 1st Choice for Homes http://www.1stchoiceforhomes.com . Online community radio station RedShift Radio - http://www.redshiftradio.co.uk/ - compered the event. There was a warm up from the staff of Total Fitness - http://www.totalfitness.co.uk/ - , followed by a quick reminder of the 2 kilometre route before the participants moved to the start line for the 11am set off. The first runner (dressed in a fetching tiger onesie) crossed the finish line in around 7 minutes 30 seconds with the second placed runner just a few seconds behind. There were people dressed as Santa Claus, Mrs Claus, Elves, a Snowman and even a few Santa dogs! Each participant received a medal, a mince pie from Chatwins http://www.chatwins.co.uk/ and goodie bags from Total Fitness and Hanley’s http://www.hanleysconfectionery.co.uk/ .
