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:-
