Despite the damp conditions on Sunday, December 3, seasonal cheer was in abundance with runners taking on the challenge for a worthy cause and the perk of a Christmas pudding at the finishing line.
The event was organised by Gosport Rotary Club and the Absolute 545 RunClub, raising £2,000 for the Harbour Cancer Trust. Around 200 people took part.
