Big Feat Events' BigXmas will return for its third edition with three trail races on offer, all set in the suburbs and greenspace of Greater Manchester. This is an event where rural meets urban with each of the race distances (11K, Half Marathon and Marathon) having been designed to challenge and test your Christmas spirit to the max. 

The races all start and finish at Sale Water Park on 15 December. Runners will head out on trails taking in Chorlton Water Park and the River Mersey, with the longer Marathon distance following the Trans Pennine Trail all the way to Little Bollington and returning on the Bridgewater Canal. 

The trails are fully marked and marshalled, making this the perfect event for either beginners or seasoned runners. Fully stocked aid stations assist you on the Half Marathon and Marathon routes and a bespoke medal awaits finishers of all distances. Event is chip timed and mulled wine and mince pies will warm you up at the end!

A spokesperson from Big Feat Events said: "After BigXmas, you’ll have the perfect excuse to unwind, indulge and enjoy the rest of the festive season! We put a lot of research into our routes and locations, believing that the mix of challenge and stunning scenery is a winning combination."
