Rudolph has brought Santa to the Ipswich area again, for the 51st year - and this time they are also rewarding inspirational children.
Ipswich Greyfriars Round Table's annual Rudolph Run launched this year's route in Grange Farm, Kesgrave, setting out from the Bell Inn on Wednesday, December 1.
It is collecting money for Genesis Orwell Mencap and other local causes, and has announced its full route.
Glenn Williamson, chairman of Ipswich Round Table, said: "It was a very good start, with a large turnout. People in Grange Farm always support us.
"At one stage we had about 50 to 60 people following behind the sleigh."
This year, before the run, people in Ipswich nominated a number of brave and inspirational youngsters, known as VICs (Very Important Children) to receive special gifts from Santa.
Mr Williamson said the new initiative had proved popular and around 20 children had been nominated.
The Rudolph Run, a hugely popular local institution, was visiting the Gainsborough area on Thursday, December 2, and Belstead Hills on Friday, December 3.
You can donate in buckets, online or by card.
