The following roads in Marlow will be closed next Sunday for when the annual charity Santa Fun Run takes place.

The yearly event is held on the first Sunday in December, which sees members of the public dress up as Father Christmas and run across the town.

This year's event is on Sunday, December 1.

Almost 3,000 competitors took part in the race in 2023, which helped to raise over £72,000 for local causes.

Entrants will congregate in Higginson Park from around 8am ready for a 9.20am walk to the High Street.

The 5k race will start at 9.30am, with leading runners being back by 9.50am.

It is hoped that everyone taking part in the run will have completed the course by 11am.
