A group of people in festive clothing and Santa hats jump in unison under an archway adorned with thousands of twinkling Christmas lights, creating a tunnel of illuminated arches. The ground is wet, reflecting the dazzling lights above.

I and my two daughters ran with Matt yesterday . He led us very skillfully along the route which was really interesting and atmospheric. He was an articulate and funny guide - all the facts and history really complimented the run and added interest. We loved it and would defintely do it again.

Run itself was great fun. Matt was funny and informative. We had great views of Christmas lights and also heard interesting information about the places we ran to. Good pace. Such a shame the bag drop aspect was so complicated and expensive- be warned to only use your free 2 hours, avoid insurance (unless it matters to you),check out online as soon as you get your bag, and be aware there's a service charge too. An expensive end to an otherwise great evening
Hi Caroline, thank you so much for your review! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed yourself and I will be sure to pass on your kind words to Matt, who had a blast running with you! Just to be clear - we do not offer a bag drop. Although we are able to offer customers two hours free storage with luggage hero, they are very much a third party and we have no control whatsoever of the service that they provide. I'm really sorry that you found it confusing. We will do our best next year to make sure it is explain in a more straightforward and clear way to our customers. Thanks again for the review, and hope to see you in 2024!
