Chasewater Christmas Pudding Dash

Get ready for the Chasewater Christmas Pudding Dash, where festive cheer meets athletic spirit! Set against the picturesque backdrop of Chasewater Country Park in Staffordshire on Sunday, December 6th at 10:00 AM, this event offers runners a chance to kick off their holiday season with style and enthusiasm. Participants can choose between a scenic 10k or a more manageable 5k route, both winding through the undulating trails around Chasewater Reservoir.
The race is not just about running; it's an opportunity for everyone to embrace the festive spirit by dressing up as their favorite seasonal characters. Whether you're donning Santa hats and reindeer antlers or opting for whimsical elf costumes, this dash promises a lively atmosphere filled with camaraderie and joy.
For those looking to make a difference while enjoying some exercise, proceeds from the event will support Shelter, an organization dedicated to defending everyone's right to safe housing. With routes that are mostly flat but slightly undulating, runners can enjoy compacted trails that offer both challenge and beauty as they circle around the reservoir’s serene waters.
Upon crossing the finish line, participants will receive a bespoke medal commemorating their accomplishment, alongside free photographs capturing the momentous day. Trophies and prizes await leading runners in each category, while an additional prize is awarded to the best-dressed runner who truly embodies the spirit of Christmas through fancy dress.
Entry fees are as follows: £30 for the 10k race, £25 for the 5k run, and just £7 for junior participants. Detailed route maps can be viewed and downloaded in advance from the event website to help runners prepare for their chosen distance.
Race day will feature incredible volunteer support, ensuring a smooth experience throughout the event. Join us at Chasewater Country Park as we celebrate the festive season with an engaging dash through stunning scenery and a warm community atmosphere.
Join your fellow runners on December 6th and make this holiday season one to remember!
