The Santa Dash will return to Glasgow city centre for the first time in three years this festive season.
The much-loved event will take place on Sunday, December 11 with a new route around Glasgow Green and the Gorbals.
Families are invited to step into their Santa suits for a 5k fun run to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity and the Lord Provost's Children's Fund.
Glasgow's Lord Provost, Jacqueline McLaren, said: "I'm thrilled that the Santa Dash is returning this year.
"It is always such a joyful family event which puts a smile on everyone's faces.
"It signals that Christmas is coming and enables people to support charities which are especially hard-pressed this year.
"The new route will bring an added dimension to the festivities and I can't wait to watch a sea of Santas running around Glasgow Green after the starter's gun is fired!"
This year is set to be extra special as it marks the first time the Dash has been able to take place in person since before the pandemic.
The last two years have seen the event go ahead virtually with participants choosing their own routes to follow over a seven-day period.

"Everyone who signs up to take part will be helping to make a difference to cancer patients and their families across Scotland.
"Round up your families, friends and workplaces to do something fun during the festive season, we can't wait to see you all there."
