Encouraging a spirit of community and charity, this family-friendly event welcomes runners of all abilities, with pushchairs permitted but no pets allowed for safety reasons. The race is set against the backdrop of Christmas cheer, inviting participants to don festive costumes as they enjoy the holiday ambiance.
