Our Winter Warmer Runs are proud to support the Charity Shelter and our goal is to help raise awareness and funds for them. Please find some more information below.

The housing crisis isn't about houses - it's about people. The lack of safe, secure and affordable homes is affecting people across the whole country. More than three million families could be one paycheck away from losing their home

Some stats:
Every day, 110 families in England become homeless
Every 13 minutes, another family in England becomes homeless
Please note fundraising is completely optional and there's no requirement to do so however if you decide to support Shelter, there is no minimum fundraising target, just raise what you can.

THE EVENT

The 5k and 10k Winter Warmer Run starts at 10am and the half marathon will start at 9am.

Please note that the the 5k and 10k are being set off together. We ask that faster runners come in first to the start line and we will do our best to call in runners by predicted time. Please help us as much as possible as this will help all runners be set in the right place at the start based on run pace.

There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.

Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be out and about. Please always stay on the left unless otherwise guided.

If wearing headphones please make sure you can hear other people around you and marshal instructions.

AFTER THE EVENT

Everyone will receive a medal and there are also a few trophies that are up for grabs.

Results will be displayed on our Results Base Timing screen so after crossing the finish line you can check out your instant results.

These go live to our website and you will receive an email update once the race is over.

Drinks and sweets will be available at the finish line along with any other goodies from our event partners.
