马德里举办“圣诞长跑”活动
More than ten thousand Santa Clauses descended on Madrid on Dec 12 for a record-breaking Christmas run.
一万多人参加了12月12日在西班牙首都马德里举办的创纪录的“圣诞长跑”活动。
Red suits and Santa hats stretched as far as the eye could see through the Spanish capital, for the fourth official event. The course is 5.5km.
The number of competitors more than doubled that of last year and the event shattered its previous world record for the most people dressed as Santa in one race.
Organizers were delighted that some 60 per cent of competitors were women, as the event has traditionally attracted more men.
And more than 1,000 children also competed – with those under 12 running in the ‘Elf’ category and receiving a little green suit and hat.
