Boxing Day Festive Fun Run

For 2024 the Boxing Day run will be a simple ‘festive fun run’ – this change is necessary due to EA guidelines and insurance considerations as non club members are attending – a reflection of the world we live in.

It is hoped to return to the handicap format in 2025 when an event licence will be in place. So, for this year please come along (pre-register here to run or help) and have a fun run around the course followed by a social in the Cricket Club.

The route traditionally starts by the Methodist Church on Cock Hall Lane, Langley and finishes by The Leather’s Smithy (organiser’s decision) – it is a mix of quiet lanes and a forest trail. After the run there is usually a ‘social’ gathering to discuss the run and present the prizes!

The route was changed in 2022 to end by the Leathers’ Smithy pub (on the track) to avoid the final road section (busy traffic).

Note: In the event of bad weather/ice there may be an alternative route proposed.
