Kind-hearted residents donned their finest festive garb for the annual Santa Dash in Watford to help give back to the community.
The event, organised by Watford Mencap, took place on Sunday in Cassiobury Park.
Participants of all ages and abilities came together to raise funds for the charity, which supports people with learning disabilities.
"When charity finances are tighter than ever, the local community has pulled out all the stops.
"We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and contributed to this great family day out."
The event was open to all, from avid runners to those simply looking for a fun way to give back to the community.
"This was a great event which has raised vital funds for this brilliant charity.
"Thank you to everyone who helped organise this or took part; there were lots of great outfits.
"Congratulations to Councillor Karen Clarke-Taylor who won the women’s race and Joe Farry who won the men’s race."
For those unable to join the run, Watford Mencap provided an easy way to donate via a Just Giving page.
Every contribution, regardless of size, played a crucial role in actively improving the lives of residents from Watford with learning disabilities.
Watford Mencap expressed gratitude to all participants, sponsors, and supporters who made the Santa Dash a resounding success.
The charity supports around 1,400 local children and adults with learning disabilities, with services ranging from residential homes, free advice and information, adult activities, outreach services, and a wide range of children’s clubs and activities.
