Suit up in your cheeriest Santa outfit for a fun holiday run (or walk) at Tokyo’s Santa Run, an annual charity event popular worldwide during the year-end season. The ticket includes your Santa get-up, while a portion of the proceeds goes to hospitalised children in Japan and nutrition improvement programmes for indigenous children in the Philippines.
The run takes you on a 2.5km loop from Yoyogi Park Event Square through Koen Dori and Meiji Dori to Jingumae Intersection before ending back at the park. After the run, you can reward yourself with food, drinks and activities at Yoyogi Park's Fiesta de España, which is happening at the same time.
Keep an eye out for Rilakkuma, as he'll make an appearance at the event dressed up as Santa. Ready, get set and ho ho ho.
Event start times are subject to change. Check the event website for the latest details and ticketing information.
