Hooky Christmas Canter is organised by Hook Norton Harriers and follows a challenging 7 mile course through the Cotswold countryside surrounding the Oxfordshire village of Hook Norton.
The hilly route combines country roads, open fields and countryside trails, with steep climbs, descents and potentially muddy conditions adding to the challenge. The course is approximately 7 miles rather than officially measured, making it a race where runners can concentrate on the terrain and countryside rather than chasing an exact distance.
Fancy dress is encouraged, with runners regularly embracing the festive spirit in Christmas costumes. Mince pies and mulled wine await finishers, with water also available. The race has a long history of attracting runners from across the region and has become a popular way to round off the running year.
