It was warm though, I think I sweated about a gallon and I wasn't even doing the run! Most of our Santa suits are cotton or a cotton polyester mix. <br /><br />Red Nomad OZ; you're right! RED!!<br />Maybe a sack of Santas? <br /><br />Jackie K; I had the camera set to video for a few minutes too, but I haven't yet mastered the art of stopping video before lowering the camera so I have running/walking Santas, then crazy whirling sky and ground for a few seconds. I'll post one later in the week.

I miss those sorts of amazing community events.<br /><br />The weather looks a little overcast for December, which I guess is just as well as I've always felt a bit sorry for Santa in the southern hemisphere. A red velvet suit is not suitable attire for a portly gentleman anywhere in Australia in December.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-11037829407939113762013-12-08T17:24:57.299+10:302013-12-08T17:24:57.299+10:30fishducky; it began about five years ago, through ...fishducky; it began about five years ago, through the variety club that raises money for kids charities. <br /><br />Elephant's Child; we have the motorbike toy run too, that was today, but I forgot it was happening and went Christmas shopping in the city. I only remembered when I saw tinsel decorated bikes heading for the meeting point. Two years ago I stood on the corner near here and took photos, they're on the blog....<br /><br />Merlesworld; they are all Santa's helpers keeping track of who is naughty and who is nice. <br /><br />Delores; I think he was the kids Dad.<br /><br />Andrew; join in? You want me to put this red face in a red suit? Well, maybe....<br /><br />betty; over here Santa suits can be bought cheaply at the Cheap As Chips type stores or hired from costume shops. Some people make their own. <br /><br />Manzanita; I think many of the suits were made in summer fabrics. I do know that all the Santas headed straight for the water booth to get a drink when they got back past the finish line. <br /><br />klahanie; over a thousand Santas. I think the plane was Air Asia. Or Asia Air...<br /><br />Mimsie; I didn't do the 4km walk, I only found out about it at the last minute by the notice in the paper. Wolfed down my breakfast, grabbed the camera and headed to the riverbank.

You are wonderful the different things you come up with.

I bet that was a sight to watch them run. Would those suits be hot and difficult to run in? You always come up with new and fun things. Excellent, my dear.
