Chasewater Christmas Pudding Dash

Get ready for the Chasewater Christmas Pudding Dash, where holiday cheer meets competitive spirit! Set against the picturesque backdrop of Chasewater Country Park in Staffordshire on Sunday, December 6th at 10:00 AM, this festive event offers runners a unique opportunity to kick off the season with style and fun.
Participants can choose between two distances: the challenging 10k or the more accessible 5k. Both routes wind through undulating trails around Chasewater Reservoir, offering stunning views of the water's shimmering surface as you run past lush greenery and open skies. The race is designed to be mostly flat with some gentle hills, making it suitable for runners of all skill levels.
Adding a touch of whimsy to this already appealing event are the costume contests where participants can dress up in their favorite seasonal characters. Whether you're channeling Santa Claus or opting for something more creative, there's an opportunity to showcase your festive spirit while running alongside fellow enthusiasts who have also come dressed in holiday finery.
The race is not just about crossing the finish line but also supporting a worthy cause—Shelter. By participating, runners contribute valuable funds towards defending people’s right to safe and secure homes. Shelter provides essential services for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness while advocating on critical housing issues.
Upon completion of your run, you'll be greeted with an array of exciting rewards:
- A custom-designed medal commemorating the event.
- Free photographs capturing your festive dash through scenic trails.
- Trophies and prizes awarded to top finishers in both 10k and 5k categories.
- An award for the best-dressed runner who dazzles spectators with their holiday-themed attire.
Entry fees are as follows:
- £30 for the 10k distance
- £25 for the 5k run
- £7 for young runners in the Junior category
