Christmas Festive Run – Monday 28th December 2026

For 2026 the Festive Run (Monday 28th December 2026 to avoid a clash with parkrun) will again 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.

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 starts by the Methodist Church on Cock Hall Lane, Langley and finishes at Langley Cricket Club (Cock Hall Lane) – it is a 5k on quiet lanes. After the run there is a ‘social’ gathering to discuss the run and present the prizes!

NOTE: The 2026 Route is the same as 2025 – a 5k on quiet lanes – this route avoids traffic and the need for a long walk back to the clubhouse from the finish. Click the ‘Route’ Tab below to see the route.

The route was changed in 2025 to end at the Cricket Club – this makes a 5k route on quiet lanes avoiding traffic and a long walk back from the old finish at the Leathers Smithy.
