Salcey Forest Christmas 10k, 5k & Junior Fun Run!

Celebrate the holiday season with a festive twist at Salcey Forest, where runners of all ages and abilities are invited to embark on woodland trails adorned with seasonal cheer. Scheduled for Sunday, December 13th, this charming race offers three distances: a scenic 5k loop, a more challenging 10k journey, and an engaging Junior Fun Run.
Set against the backdrop of Salcey Forest in Northamptonshire, runners will traverse virtually flat mixed terrain trails that meander through lush woodland paths. The event welcomes participants to embrace the festive spirit by donning seasonal fancy dress; Santa hats are encouraged!
The race is not just about running—it's a chance for families and friends to come together in support of Shelter, an organization dedicated to defending everyone’s right to safe housing. Funds raised will help those experiencing or at risk of homelessness find stability.
Upon crossing the finish line, runners can look forward to receiving bespoke medals that commemorate their achievement. Free photographs capture the joyous moment, while trophies and prizes are awarded to leading participants in each category. Discounted parking is available for all registered racers.
Join us on this magical day as we run through Salcey Forest’s enchanting trails, surrounded by a friendly atmosphere filled with holiday spirit and camaraderie.
Participants can also look forward to a special prize for the best seasonal fancy dress outfit at the finish line. With stunning forest scenery and virtually flat terrain, this race offers both a delightful challenge and an opportunity to give back to those in need.
