Rotorua will have hundreds of Santas, elves and reindeer running around tomorrow.
Organisers of the Rotorua Great KidsCan Santa Run are expecting more than 200 entrants to the fundraiser for disadvantaged children.
It is being held for a third year in Rotorua and has been running nationally for five years. Event director Shaun Collins said entrants over 13 years old were provided with Santa suits to walk or run the course, which was about 2.5km long.
"We encourage people to get creative with their costumes and costume ideas.
"One year a group of people got together as Santa and his reindeer and tied themselves together for the run, it was fantastic," he said.
