Lancaster's Turkey Trot Half Marathon and Christmas Cracker 10K are festive road races organised by Lancaster Race Series, alongside a family friendly 1 mile Santa Dash. Based at the 3-1-5 Health Club, the event takes runners through the Lune Valley countryside, with scenic riverside stretches and Christmas fancy dress welcomed.

The Half Marathon follows a relatively flat route alongside the River Lune, passing through rural surroundings and parts of historic Lancaster. The Christmas Cracker 10K provides a shorter road racing challenge, with both distances appealing to runners looking for an enjoyable winter event with welcoming support and picturesque scenery.

The Santa Dash gives children and families the chance to take part over one mile, with younger children accompanied by an adult. All participants receive a finisher medal, with candy canes for Santa Dash entrants and spot prize T-shirts across the events. Individual prizes are also awarded to leading finishers in the Half Marathon and 10K.
