Monies raised help young people build resilience and confidence in overcoming life's challenges.
The annual Santa Run involved local Surrey residents aged from just eight weeks old to over 80, with several children carried in baby slings, prams or pushchairs.
Two races took place, each launched by Councillor Rich Michalowski, Mayor for the Borough of Reigate & Banstead and his wife, Mayoress Mrs Michelle Gibney.
In the three-mile run for over 16s, Harry Mullard, George Akerman and Alexander Williams were the first men over the finishing line. The first three winning women were Jo Vickers, Lydia Riding and Catherine Ryder.
