Sea of red on Douglas streets
The 2017 Santa Dash was won, both in the male and female category, by the reigning champions.
Jack Okell and Rachael Franklin retained their crowns with times of 4:42 and 4:52 respectively - each win £300 for their respective charities.
Swarms of seasonal Santas set off from outside the Isle of Man Bank on Prospect Hill at 12:30, and first-timer Nick Stephens says it's a lot harder than it looks:-
