A new Todmorden world record of 64 torch-lit running Santas illuminated the hills, canal, park and supermarket as they celebrated Christmas in the now traditional last-Wednesday-before-Christmas pack run. Over £200 was raised for charity as a mountain of food was devoured at the Masons Arms pub.
There are some more pics lower down the page, but first here are the words that the throng sang before being treated to mulled wine and mince pies at the Logue household.
JINGLE RUN – loosely based on and to the tune of Jingle Bells
Running through the snow
Tod Santas here we go
It’s Jingle Run today
We’re laughing all the way
In dashing red and white
Our spirits strong and bright
Oh what fun it is to sing
A running song tonight
Chorus
Oh, Jingle Run, Jingle Run
Jingle here and there
Oh, what fun it is to be
A Todmorden Harrier
Oh Jingle Run, Jingle Run
Jingle far and wide
We’re not just a running club
We’re much, much more besides
We run on road and fell
On parks and trails as well
We love cross country mud
We must be bloody good
Although we’re born to run
When we hear the starting gun
We like a beer or three or four
That’s why we have such fun
Chorus
Oh, Jingle Run, Jingle Run
Jingle here and there
Oh, what fun it is to be
A Todmorden Harrier
Oh Jingle Run, Jingle Run
Jingle far and wide
We’re not just a running club
We’re much, much more besides
