SANTA Claus has completed a 5km run around Otley.

Otley Rotary Club President Stephen Hallam dressed up as Father Christmas for the fun festive fundraiser on Sunday, December 20.

The sponsorship money he is collecting, combined with donations, will go to The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.

Stephen was joined for the last kilometre of the run by his five year old grandson, Thomas, who has also been raising money for the cause.

An Otley Rotary Club spokesperson said: “We would like to thank everyone who has supported the run - we have been very pleased with the level of sponsorship received.”

The proceeds will help the Skipton-based Principle Trust Children’s Charity provide free respite breaks for disadvantaged and disabled children.

Donations can still be made at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/otley-rotary-club-3621.
