It's Zumba Time for Santa!

Over 30 wannabe Santas took part in a special Zumba warm up session on Princes Street yesterday to get in tip-top shape ahead of the Great Edinburgh Santa Run, which takes place on Sunday 11 December at 11am.

UK Zumba® Fitness Presenter and Education Specialist, Donna Giffen, put the Santas through their paces, giving them a taste of the Christmas Zumba warm up which happens before the run.

This year’s Great Edinburgh Santa Run will see hundreds of fundraising Santas run, walk and stroll along the route, which incorporates West Princes Street Gardens and Princes Street, turning the city centre into a sea of red and white.  One of the most popular events in the Christmas programme, the run is a great way to enjoy time with friends and family while raising money for a deserving cause.  On the day, registration is open from 9am with the Zumba warm up at 10.30am before the run begins at 11am in West Princes Street Gardens by the Ross Bandstand.

Money raised from the event goes to the charity When You Wish Upon a Star which raises money to grant Wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses throughout Scotland.
