Santa hats and Christmas jumpers were to the fore as the energetic participants completed the course. For those who preferred to take things at a more gentle pace, there were stalls offering crafts and goodies to savour.
Here’s a selection of Tony Hendron’s photographs from the festive celebration to enjoy.
