Langdale Christmas Pudding Run
Saturday, 12th December 2026
A festive 10k in the beautiful Langdale Valley
What could be better than a festive 10k in the stunning Langdale Valley with a FREE Christmas Pudding to take home afterwards? Fancy dress is optional but very much encouraged, with prizes for our favourite outfits! Some of you may be out for a fun time but expect stiff competition from club runners at the front with the first finishers expected back between 32 & 35 minutes.
