Places for the Running Imp Santa Fun and Run & Walk are filling up fast, with just under 600 spots remaining for the annual fun-filled festive treat.
Entries have flown in at a record place, and event organisers are predicting that the event will be sold out within the next two weeks.
Around 2,500 Santa’s are expected to be dashing around the city’s historic Bailgate area on Sunday, December 13, with runners setting off at 11.30am from inside Lincoln Castle.
After two laps of the course, the runners will return to the castle to be rewarded with their own custom made medals.
Entries have been frozen at £10, with every participant receiving their own Santa suit to keep free of charge.
Children under five can take part for free in the event.

The Running Imp Santa Doggy Dash is also back again for all those wanting to take part in the fun run with their four-legged friends.
Event organisers Running Imp are teaming up with Jerry Green Dog Rescue, which cares for and re-homes dogs all across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, and will have members of the kennel team present at the special Doggy Dash start area in Castle Square for any participants looking for advice or information.

Seeing family, being cosy by the fire, and fun in the snow, contrasted with dark mornings and cold weather, are among the most loved — and hated — things about winter for people in Lincoln.
New research shows that 81% of people admitted they hate the winter season. According to a poll of 2,000 by the Post Office, dark mornings (49%), slipping on ice (44%), and having a cold face (41%), runny nose (38%), and paying the heating bills (34%) are considered the worst things about winter.
