Dozens of Santas will get on their marks this month as the countdown to Christmas officially begins.

The annual Dunfermline Santa Dash takes place on November 20.

It sees children and adults dressed in red suits take to the streets before the town’s Christmas lights switch-on.

The event is organised by the Rotary Club of Dunfermline, which is urging as many people as possible to get involved.

Entrants can choose to raise money for any charity they choose, while the amount raised by the Rotary Club will go to Dunfermline-based causes.
