Run Santa run! Thousands dress up for race

Thousands of people in Mexico have taken part in a fun run dressed as Santa Claus.

They dashed through the streets of the city of Monterrey, dressed in red suits and white beards.

Some people were even dressed as other festive favourites, such as snowmen and the Grinch.

The run was for a good cause, with the price of the tickets used to buy Christmas presents for disadvantaged children.
