2026 event details to be confirmed by organisers.
Plum Pudding Plod is a festive Boxing Day run and walk organised by Forfar Road Runners in Angus. Starting and finishing at Strathmore Rugby Club, the event follows a scenic circuit around Forfar Loch, bringing together runners, families and walkers for a traditional Christmas outing.
The approximately 4.4K route takes participants anticlockwise around the loch through Forfar Loch Country Park. Runners encounter a mixture of paths, grass, tracks and short road sections, with mostly flat terrain and views across the water. The manageable distance makes the event accessible to newcomers while still attracting experienced local runners.
Christmas fancy dress is a familiar feature, with participants of different ages joining in and prizes traditionally awarded to leading finishers. The event regularly attracts around 200 people and raises money for local charities chosen by the club, making it a well supported part of Forfar's festive running calendar.
