It's exciting to invite you to the inaugural edition of this brand-new festive event!
It’s the first ever accessible festive themed race to be held at Alice Holt Forest and explores the stunning trails that twist and turn between the trees. Seasonal dressing up is wholeheartedly welcomed (but not essential) so get those Santa hats at the ready.
The race benefits from accessible, traffic free trails which makes it a great course for those who are new to running or new to racing! But it’s also jam packed with the type of racing magic that will see more seasoned racers return again and again. This is a truly inclusive race, and runners of all abilities are warmly welcomed whether they’re part of a club or elf-taught (Sorry, Elf-vidently, we couldn’t resist!).
This event is committed to hosting an accessible running event alongside partners at Alice Holt Forest:
This event is part of Green Santa Run.
Whilst not compulsory, seasonal silliness is something this event embraces with gusto!
Should the yuletide mood capture you, we encourage you to celebrate this special time of year with your very best homemade costumes made out recycled materials. We will have a prize for the best dressed runner in a seasonal costume! It’s super fun and it’ll do wonders for your elf-confidence! So, let your imaginations run amok and show us your best Christmas creations.
