Much fun was to be had at the event with many turning up in all kinds of festive gear to help raise money for a good cause.

Di Levantine, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Sussex Snowdrop Trust said: “It is a busy time for families in the run up towards Christmas so it was a pleasure to see all the festive runners set off from the starting line at Priory Park on a windy Sunday morning.

“We are very grateful for this Christmas collaboration as it brings people together as a community and also builds awareness for us as a charity. We continue to make a difference to the lives of local children who have a life threatening illness. Our Snowdrop Care at Home Team give vital nursing care at home and our Counsellors are on hand for emotional support. We are reliant on funds raised from the community and we hope this fundraising initiative will encourage more runners next year.”
