Partridge in a Pear Tree

The Partridge in a Pear Tree, nestled within our enchanting Christmas Series of 2026, offers runners and walkers an unparalleled adventure through scenic terrain with generous time limits designed to accommodate all pacing strategies. Participants can choose from a range of distances: the classic two-lap 5k, the more demanding single-loop options such as the 10k or half marathon, up to full marathon lengths, along with ultra-distance routes tailored for those seeking an extended challenge.
Taking place at Pengethley Manor in Ross-on-Wye’s charming countryside, this event showcases a rigorous off-road course that winds through picturesque natural landscapes. The terrain is both varied and demanding, providing not just physical but also mental tests of endurance and resilience along the way.
Alongside ‘The Partridge’, our series includes other festive themed races like '2 Turtle Doves', '3 French Hens Run', '4 Calling Birds Run', up to '12 Drummers Drumming'. Each race is hosted at unique locations, all celebrated with their distinctive character on dedicated webpages within the larger event calendar. All participants who complete these runs are awarded beautifully designed medals reflective of each themed course.
For those unable to join us in person due to scheduling conflicts or personal preferences, a virtual option remains open for runners and walkers worldwide. While our ideal race day dates encourage community engagement at Pengethley Manor, we understand life’s uncertainties which is why digital participation options are available around the event timeline as well.
Join this festive run series that not only celebrates physical achievement but also captures holiday spirit in unforgettable scenic settings across various distances throughout December 2026.
