Great Langdale Xmas Pudding Run

A 10K out and back road run along the beautiful Great Langdale valley. The Great Langdale Christmas Pudding Run has become the people's choice 10K winter run. With over 1000 entrants in 2009, the race appeals to both serious and "fun" runners. Every finisher gets a Christmas Pudding for completing the course and we encourage entrants to dress in festive costumes to add to the party atmosphere. The course is an out and back, slightly undulating route, along the Great Langdale Road. Starting at the Stickle Barn pub, running to the Langdale Estate in Elterwater and returning to the Stickle Barn. That's the organisers description - but it is a great race, as long it runs (pardon the pun). It was cancelled last year due to the weather, but it ws a no refund policy, although anyone entered for last year can do this years event for £5 - apparently. Just be aware when you enter.
