More than 1,000 people dressed in an array of festive outfits took part in a town's Boxing Day run. Clevedon Athletic Club has been hosting the north Somerset four-mile (6.4km) race since 1977. Race director Andy Heyes called it a "massive tradition".

Either way, Boxing Day isn’t an official holiday in the United States. Some do celebrate it on their own time and there are certainly some post-Christmas sales to take advantage of. But you likely won’t find any blowout Boxing Day events or traditions here.

Hundreds of people turned out to watch two of Scarborough's much-loved Boxing Day traditions - one of which is more than 130-years-old. The day started with a football match between fishermen and fireman on the beach before crews took to the seas in fancy dress for a raft race.
