This Isle of Man bank's annual Santa dash saw 200 people decked out in their best Father Christmas costumes all in the name of charity.

The race went underway around the Island's capital on Wednesday, December 13, starting, as usual outside of the Isle of Man bank.

The yearly event saw more than £3,000 raised for various local charities such as the The Children's Centre and Wish Upon A Dream.

Jack Okell took first place with a time of 4 minutes 42 seconds and raised £300 for the charity Alzheimer’s society.
