Lancaster's Christmas 4K is back this December...
Do you want to keep racing over Christmas? Why not enjoy a few days of over indulgence and then blast away the cobwebs at Lancaster & Morecambe AC's popular Christmas 4K Festive Fun Run at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre.
This year the race will take place on 28 December at 11am and as ever it is very much aimed at families and fun runners and those keen to keep the magic of Christmas alive for as long as December allows! There are also number of regular, more serious competitors that take part, but regardless of ability or reason for being there, runners are guaranteed a great atmosphere and all will leave for home with a fantastic festive-themed medal.
Organisers say: "To add to the festive feeling, runners are very welcome to run in fancy dress. We will also have a really great range of spot prizes on the day including sponsored vouchers and prizes!
"The race is only £5 to enter in advance or £8 on the day. The route is flat and around 4K. Since this is always a very popular fun run with a limit of 400 runners, we really recommend that people register online in advance."
