Hundreds of Santas raced through Orpington this morning for the annual festive dash.

People of all ages donned their red and white costumes, running 2km from Priory Gardens to Market Square.

The event began at 10.30am, kicking-off with a mass Christmas-themed warm up, before the race commenced half-an-hour later.

Will from St Mary Cray crossed the finish line first, claiming the title of Santa Claus 2021.

Thousands of runners across the UK took in similar runs this morning, after events last year were cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions.
