Cole Park completed the run in his wheelchair pushed by a team of supporters but managed to walk over the finish line ❤️

A six-year-old boy currently undergoing treatment for an aggressive brain tumour was the guest of honour at this year's Santa Dash.

Almost 4,000 Santas braved the cold to raise money for charity in the first Santa Dash in three years. The festive family fun run took place on a new 5k route starting and finishing on Glasgow Green. He said: “It’s wonderful to see the Santa Dash return in such style and with huge support. Everyone loves the Santa Dash, it is held in great affection by runners and spectators alike and there was huge disappointment when it couldn’t go ahead in person during the pandemic.

The Santa Dash was organised by the city council in partnership with Beatson Cancer Charity whose mascot Bella the Bee greeted the crowds. Any profits from the event will be split between the Beatson Cancer Charity and the Lord Provost’s Fund for Vulnerable Children.
