Thousands of pounds have been raised after around 200 people took part in races dressed up as Santa Clause.
The Santa Dash in Cassiobury Park on Sunday, December 4, raised around £4,000 for the charity Mencap, with runners tackling the 1k, 5k or 10k challenge.
A Watford Mencap spokesperson said: “This is one of our key community fundraising events, raising thousands which helps us to provide vital services for local people with learning disabilities.”

Mencap provides a range of services across south west Hertfordshire for around 600 people of all ages with a learning disability and their families and carers.
The event was supported by Watford MP Dean Russell who also presented the medals.
He said: “Thank you to Mencap for organising and to all the runners who looked very festive.
“I would also like to say thank you to Warner Bros who generously sponsored the event.
“It was a wonderful event for a great cause, and there was something on offer for all ages and abilities to enjoy.”
