The Sixth Chania  Santa Run took place yesterday in a festive atmosphere with record numbers of  participants  wearing Santa Claus costumes.

The run covered a distance of around 3,5 km through  the historic  centre of Chania, with the sole purpose of raising money for four institutions that care for children: elepap, kifaamea, kifap, horass.

Up to now the charity raised 240.000 euros for the four institutions. This year, it hopes to raise 100.000 euros for children in need.
