It's that time of the year - where the tinsel and mulled wine comes out, everyone is drinking more and everything has a 'festive' feel. I'm so happy that races this time of year also have a festive feel - choosing race comfortable fancy dress and a well deserved mulled wine and mince pie at the end. Here is my chooses of festive races available across London:
Saturday 5th December – Christmas pudding race
This race is a fancy dress which raises money for the Cancer
Research and is located in Covent Garden which is a pretty great central
location find out more info here.
Tuesday 8th December – Santa Dash London
This race is a 5K round the streets of London in compulsory
Santa uniform. You will be asked to raise money for children with additional
needs but in the price of the ticket it includes a costume, medal and Christmas
cocktail! More info here.
Saturday 13th December - Osterley park 10K
I’m actually doing this race as well as it’s a local race
for me and set in the beautiful National Trust grounds. I haven’t sorted out a
fancy dress yet but hope to put something together. If the atmosphere or
organisation is anything like the Ealing Half then it should be a good race: Find out more here
Saturday 20th December – Greenwich Park 5K/10K
I have done a run through half before and it had a really
good turn out. These races are a decide on the day and decide on the distance
race. Friends have done the Christmas race last year said the fancy dress was
great and even rumours of a mince pie at the finish line afterwards: Follow the run through site here
Christmas Day / New Year Day Parkruns
Christmas can be an expensive time with all the extra costs
of socialising and the other Christmas plan me and me partner have is to
complete the parkrun local to my parent’s house on Christmas Day. With most of
my family having a Christmas hangover and us having a later Christmas breakfast
we are hoping to get up and walk to the ground for a festive run in the
community. To find out if your local parkrun is running on Christmas day please
