Harestanes santa dash: In pictures
Organised by Live Borders, the event saw Santas of all ages and abilities complete a 5km fun run through Harestanes’ scenic winter wonderland, while others strolled the 1.5km family walk route, splendidly decorated by local school children.
“We had Santas of all ages and abilities and some four-legged friends taking part too, which made for a great day,” said Lori Lee from Live Borders. “Plenty turned up on the day to take part. There was a bit of morning rain, but it did little to dampen the atmosphere.”

Further entertainment was on hand from story tellers and Christmas shoppers could pick up a gift or two at the craft stalls.
“A big thanks to everyone who ran or walked, and to all the stallholders, musicians, staff and volunteers for making it possible,” Lori added.
