Lee on the solent parkrun 490 - Festive Santa Hat Run!

Lee-on-the-Solent Parkrun No. 490 Christmas Day Edition

A truly special day for 741 parkrunners who gathered on Lee-on-the-Solent's promenade, ready to burn some calories in anticipation of the feasts waiting for them at home. It seems to get busier every year, with more and more runners participating. Unless you're near the front, it’s not a day for personal bests—just a day for sharing a Merry Christmas with like-minded runners, walkers, and Santas.

It’s a joyous sight as the running Santas snake down towards the rising sun, bells jingling and bobbles bouncing, creating a scene filled with red, white, and green.

As it is a special day on the parkrun calendar, we must extend our gratitude to the volunteers who stood in the freezing cold, giving up their Christmas morning for us. The next event will be on Saturday, followed by the special New Year’s Day parkrun. Let’s see how big the numbers will be for that one!

I would also like to thank everyone who has watched my videos this year. I have truly enjoyed sharing Lee-on-the-Solent parkrun and other events I have travelled to with you.
