The Loftus Poultry Run is a traditional festive race organised by Loftus & Whitby Athletic Club in North Yorkshire. Held shortly before Christmas, the approximately 7 mile route combines country lanes, bridleways, footpaths and muddy farmland, with fancy dress and a brass band adding to the seasonal atmosphere.
Runners face a generally uphill first half before descending towards the finish, making the course a varied challenge across road and off road surfaces. Trail shoes or sturdy trainers are recommended for the mixture of firm paths, country roads and potentially muddy fields. The changing terrain and gradients provide a demanding but rewarding winter running experience.
The event features chip timing, age category awards and numerous spot prizes, with traditional Christmas poultry among the rewards. Every finisher receives a bespoke T-shirt, while the friendly club atmosphere and colourful costumes give this longstanding race its distinctive festive character.
