Pali\u0107 was filled with festive energy, laughter and red hats today, as the “Santa Claus Race” was held there for the 26th time. video icon <\/p>\n\n
Several thousand Subotica residents of all ages gathered at the starting line in front of the Grand Terrace to participate in the traditional “Santa Claus” race in Pali\u0107.<\/p>\n\n
Not even the rain stopped them from doing so, because, as we know, children grow from it.<\/p>\n\n
“I’m running to win a gold medal,” little Nikola Torbica confided in us.<\/p>\n\n
His peer, Vanesa Buljov\u010di\u0107, told RTV that she “loves this race the most in the world.”<\/p>\n\n
Santa Claus gave them strength for the race with a meal of slices of bread spread with lard. And so that no child would go hungry during the holidays, the Red Cross collected donations. <\/p>\n\n
“The Red Cross, like every year, is trying to provide packages for children who are fed at the People’s Kitchen, of which there are currently around 300,” said Zoran Molnar from the Red Cross of Subotica.<\/p>\n\n
The Santa Claus Race has been held for 26 years, organized by the PE “Park Pali\u0107”, and its creator is ultramarathoner Elvira Janosi.<\/p>\n\n
“This is a very nice event. Children don’t have snow these winter days and they can’t go ice skating. We wanted them to be happy during this day, and for families to be together,” says Elvira Janosi, recalling that last year around 3,000 Subotica residents participated in the race.<\/p>\n\n
The event participants enjoyed the gifts brought by Santa Claus, dancing with his reindeer and the New Year’s bear who arrived ahead of time for the celebration, as well as the crocodile with his mermaid girlfriend.<\/p>\n\n
All participants in the race were richly rewarded. In fact, they all received gold medals. <\/p>\n\n
The oldest Santa Claus, through RTV, sent everyone many greetings and wishes to be healthy, loved and happy.<\/p>\n\n
