The race is on Sunday 20 December 2026 at Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes, starting at 11:00 from Bletcham Way, Caldecotte, MK7 8HP.
It is a single lap around Caldecotte Lake. The paths are mostly wide hard gravel with a shared bike and walking surface, with one short grass section. It is a relaxed, non-technical route with waterfront views throughout.
The festive theme is part of the event's character and many runners dress for it, but normal running kit is perfectly acceptable.
Absolutely. Spectators are strongly encouraged to come and cheer the runners on around the lake.
A timekeeper and race referee are part of the event set-up. The page does not state whether chip timing is used, so treat the time as a recorded finish rather than a guaranteed chip result.
