150 people dressed as Santa Claus ran The Santa Claus Marathon along the Kamogawa in Kyoto on Dec. 23. Runners ranging from children to seniors wore white beards and red coats to celebrate Christmas in the old capitol.
The race began 5 years ago for people who enjoy this sort of thing, quickly becoming a regular event. Its growing popularity attracts runners from Kanto and Shikoku in addition to locals. Runners in costumes such as Christmas trees and snowmen as well as people with dogs dressed as reindeer also took part. Race staff said, "We are very happy that everybody enjoyed the run this year."
Translator`s note: Merry Christmas.
