Immerse yourself in the festive spirit of winter with the 3 French Hens Run, one of several enchanting races that make up our Christmas Series. This year's edition offers runners and walkers alike an opportunity to tackle challenging off-road terrain within a generous seven-hour time frame.
Participants have the flexibility to choose their own target distance from a range of options: a scenic 5k (2 laps), a more demanding 10k, the half marathon, the full marathon, or even the ultra-distance option. Each route winds through picturesque landscapes around Pengethley Manor in Ross-on-Wye.
The event's off-road course presents varying elevations and terrain types, ensuring an engaging challenge for all levels of runners and walkers. The setting offers a charming blend of rural beauty and festive cheer, perfect for those looking to enjoy the outdoors during the holiday season.
For those unable to attend on Race Day, virtual participation is also available. Competitors can run or walk their chosen distance at any location around the world that suits them best, as long as it's completed within the designated race period. This flexibility allows runners from all corners of the globe to join in and experience the joy of this unique event.
The 3 French Hens Run is just one part of a larger series celebrating the festive season with themed races inspired by classic Christmas carols.
