Just over £260 was raised from Pendle Leisure Trust’s Santa Fun Run.
Over 50 adults and children donned Santa suits to run round Seedhill Athletics Track and Victoria Park in Nelson in December to raise money for Pendleside Hospice.
The 2km event was one lap around the running track, then into Victoria Park with one lap round the park - including a lap around the pond - then back to Seedhill to finish the circuit.
Seedhill Athletics and Fitness Centre Supervisor, Danny Owens, said: “We had a fantastic turnout, with the event bringing the local community together to raise money for such a great cause.
“It was a sight to behold as the runners braved the snow and ice dressed in red and white Santa suits to complete the challenge and raise money to provide care and support for local patients with life-limiting illnesses.”
