The Mauao base track will be overrun with Santa Clauses this evening for the annual Great New Zealand Santa Run.

This year's 3km fun run or walk is a fundraiser for the Graeme Dingle Foundation.

Online entries have closed but people can still register at the venue this evening with cash.

Entries cost $35 per adult and include a one-size-fits-all Santa suit - skirt and trouser options available - hat and beard. Children under 12 receive a Santa hat as the suits are too big.

There are discounted rates for children, seniors and family groups.
