About the Event

Step into the magical realm of the Bauble Bimble—a unique pre-Christmas race that wraps winter joy in miles upon miles of stunning landscapes. Tailored for runners who enjoy everything from leisurely jogs to ambitious marathons, this festive run celebrates the season with a vibrant atmosphere and memorable achievements.
From its shortest 5k option offering an easygoing start, through challenging yet rewarding routes at 10 kilometers or halfway around, all the way up to full marathon distance which stretches your limits even further, there's no shortage of options. For those truly looking for more, take on the ultra-distance and witness what you can accomplish when stepping beyond traditional challenges.
The event organizers provide flexibility with two distinct time windows: a spacious six-hour period that invites runners to savor every step at their own tempo or an exhilarating four-hour race meant for participants pushing themselves against personal records. Both formats cater perfectly to different paces, ensuring each runner finds the challenge and reward they seek on this festive course.
As you weave your way through scenic trails adorned with twinkling lights under crisp autumn skies leading into winter chill, every mile brings a dash of Christmas magic along the route. Each finisher crosses the line clutching not just satisfaction but also an exclusive commemorative medal that immortalizes their triumph and makes for a cherished keepsake come holiday season.
Runners joining this year’s Bauble Bimble are in store for much more than miles covered; they embark on a winter wonderland adventure designed to sparkle with joy, camaraderie, and personal accomplishment.
