Chase The Pud York brings a festive running challenge to the Knavesmire, inviting participants to dress as Santa and chase a speedy Christmas pudding around the course. The event raises funds for the British Heart Foundation and has become a popular Christmas tradition in York.

Runners can choose between a chip timed 10K road race and a shorter, untimed 3K suitable for walking, jogging or running. The flat 10K course consists of just over three laps around the Knavesmire, providing an accessible route for runners looking to achieve a personal best or take part in the festive atmosphere.

Santa costumes add to the seasonal spectacle, with individuals, families and fundraising teams joining together for a good cause. The event combines friendly competition with community fundraising, supporting vital research into heart and circulatory diseases.
