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: As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will receive our fantastic medal!

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.

Distance Pins: We 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.

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.
