We got the ball rolling with festive race news yesterday, so we will continue the trend today seeing as we are now offically three months away from the big day itself. Runners in Cheshire will be pleased to hear that entries are now open for this year's Tatton Yule Yomp which will take place on 8 December.

The race is a 1-lap course which starts at the Knutsford Gate to Tatton Park and runs through and around the beautiful Tatton Park grounds, consisting of undulating terrain, trail, grass, tarmac and gravel. The final 1K is on a fully closed road, back to the finish at Egerton Youth Club.

The popular race sees runners enjoy a course that tours the beautiful Cheshire countryside. The 10K trail race attracts both club runners seeking to place and recreational runners enjoying a festive event, many in fabulous fancy dress!

Organisers stress the importance of getting your entry early: "This is a sell-out race every year, so please book on now, sit back and look forward to enjoying your festive season in style! Our other festive race, Wilmslow Festive 10K on 24 November is also selling fast so be sure to enter soon so you don’t miss out!"

There will also be a family fun run on the day which starts as soon as the main 10K event has set off. Entries for this fantastic-festive offering are £7 and includes a medal for all finishers. Surely better than anything Santa will bring?!

Those entering will all receive a bespoke collectable medal,  Post race Tribe snack bar,  Free to download high res race photos, Coffee & Food.
