About the event

Dive into the festive spirit with Spunch!, an unconventional treasure hunt that transforms Dore, Sheffield S17, into a winter wonderland on December 10, 2026. This unique adventure is perfect for all ages and abilities, inviting you to explore charming Christmas light displays while navigating through local green corridors and hidden snickets.
Participants can choose from various distances ranging from 2k to 22k, with course durations of 60, 90, or 120 minutes. The event kicks off at thedalesportsbar.co.uk, offering a warm welcome and plenty of food and drink options for both before and after your adventure.
Dress up in festive gear or fancy dress—anything goes—and make use of the MapRun app to track checkpoints along the way. With over 60 SpunchPoints spread across illuminated paths and off-road trails, this event promises a mix of scenic beauty and challenging terrain.
Registration opens at 17:30, allowing you to start anytime between then and 19:30. Remember that all participants must wear high-visibility clothing and carry torches for safety; fairy lights are encouraged but not required.
The Dale Sports Bar will provide a cozy setting with child-friendly amenities, though dogs are only permitted outside the venue on leads. Conveniently located near Dore & Totley train stations and bus stops within 200 meters, this event is easily accessible from Sheffield and surrounding areas like Chesterfield and Bakewell.
Whether you're navigating through well-lit paths or venturing into darker off-road trails, Spunch! offers a memorable experience for runners and walkers alike. Join the fun and discover new routes in this hilly yet navigable area brimming with holiday cheer.
