If we were not feeling Christmassy before this task; we were certainly feeling it afterwards!

Our group arrived for 10am to hear where we would be marshalling out on the run course around Bath Spa university.

We bought bells and santa hats and stood at our posts making as much noise as possible to encourage the runners of all ages around the route.

There were two distances available; the 2.5km and 5km. All the runners were dressed in santa suits and big smiles. They were raising money for Dorothy House hospice and many had sentimental messages written on their backs as they were running in memory of loved ones.

The run came and went as quickly as our post race soup and to our surprise we were sprayed down with a snow gun as the finale. As we danced around in the fake snow, listening to the Christmas tunes we all left with big smiles on our faces knowing that our contribution had helped a fantastic charity and also our own Christmas cheer. Ho ho Ho. Now where is that eggnog and mince pies :)
