Olympian Jo Pavey MBE joined over 40 Sidmouth Running Club members for a festive trot, which naturally included cake, chocolate and fancy dress.
The runners headed up from St Johns School to Bennetts Hill, the best light display in Sidmouth. The Mighty Green choir sang Silent Night and popped donations in the collecting box for Sidmouth Independent Lifeboat before continuing round the cul-de-sac to The Volley.
Not for the first time, Radway cinema-goers were entertained with a festive run through the aisles before another burst of We Wish You A Merry Christmas for the Radway pub revellers.
On return, the Mighty Greens were treated to mulled wine and mince pies (thanks to Nikki King) and Jo presented the best fancy dress prize to Leeann Thomson, who ran like an angel, her gossamer wings twinkling all the way.
SRC Juniors start back on Wednesday, January 10. See www.sidmouthrunningclub.co.uk for further details.
