Runners will be timed out and back in at the finish. The route includes a secret destination where participants must solve a cryptic clue to earn time bonuses and stop for a refreshment. On the route participants will look for Santas and chocolate. Prizes may be awarded for quirky dress, behaviour, and sense of humour.

If entering others under one name, the organiser requires full details for each additional person before the closing date. There are no refunds. Closing date for entries is 16 Dec 2025.
