Last year's quickest Santa is looking to defend his title at a fun run in aid of Princess Alice Hospice.

Nick McKay, 36, wants to hold onto his twice won title by completing the Santa fun run in Richmond Park on December 14 for the fourth year.

Mr McKay completes the run in memory of his sister-in-law, Jo Crossfield, who was cared for at the Esher hospice.

He said: "This has become an annual festive family event for us and this year I'm hoping that my young son can also take part from the comfort of his buggy."

Hundreds of Santa's will make their merry way around the royal park during two 5km runs, which take place at 10.30am and 12.30pm.
