About The Event
Come join us for our Dachshund Through The Snow Christmas Jumper Big Bobble Run as we go festive ahead of Christmas. We have a fantastic new Christmas Dachshund Through The Snow Jumper medal for you to earn (along with a big bobble hat for your efforts!) with a run through the picturesque Herrington Country Park!
We welcome runners of all abilities and you are allowed to run or walk the course.
Distance & Time
This is a 7 hour Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a lap. A full lap is 3.28 miles (5.3km) and you can run as many or as few of these laps as you wish in the 7 hour time limit which starts from the official event start time. It is 4 laps for a half marathon, 8 for a marathon and 10 or over for an ultra, we also have a 50km distance available.
Course
The course is within Herrington Country park and the final route will be announced a few weeks prior to the event.
Medals & Pins
As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will receive our fantastic medal. We also have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
Goody Bag
Absolutely! You earned the calories after all, so all our finishers get a goody bag. As well as our standard goody bag, with a selection of various goodies to choose from, we also have a fabulous vegan goody bag for our vegan runners.
Aid Table
We have a fantastic aid table and drinks table at the start / finish of each lap. There is a great selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items at the aid table.
