AN AYRSHIRE social running group hit the streets on Christmas Eve to get in trim ahead of the big day.

Members of the Fit Ayrshire Masses (FAM) group set out on a 5km run around the Kilwinning area on December 24.

Their route included a stop at the town's famed 'Wonky Christmas Tree'.

It was the group's last run before its members settled in for Christmas alongside family members and loved ones.

A group spokesperson said on Facebook: "Thank you to everyone who came along to the final 5k of Christmas.

"What a turnout - we even had the Grinch and a Christmas dinosaur turning up.

"Thank you Colin, Eileen and Lesley for your help bringing the lovely bakes/ginger wine and providing hot drinks for us all."

The FAMs hold groups of runs, cycles, swims and cold water dips, which are suitable for all abilities - and it’s all free.
