Did the race in 2022

The course is on the whole very good but it got congested particularly on the north side which meant people had to walk rather than run.It was also a bit unclear where the start line was and whether we’d actually begun.At the end of the run I noticed people putting their Santa outfits in the bin rather than recycling them. It wasn’t clear where to recycle. In previous years this was much better organised.The atmosphere was good but with the event spread over two nights the impact of thousands of santas running through London was diluted a little.These are just areas for thought. It was great fun and I’d definitely do it again next year.

I enjoyed the event and the volunteers were enthusiastic. A bag drop facility would have been really useful and something I'm surprised wasn't in place for a corporate event The quality of the Santa suits was terrible - many had ripped as we put them on and given the single use impact / quality issues, I think many of my team would have preferred to find their own outfit and donate more to charity Thanks

Yes all very good. I guess course would have been nicer to include some other sites nearby. There was a really good buzz. I did like the one I. Oxford I did before the pandemic. I have small children so I would have been good for us to do daytime. Maybe when they're older because nothing beats London at night.
