It's a struggle to stay warm already, and it's only going to get worse as we head into the depths of winter. One way you can keep warm, is of course to keep running and the perfectly named Winter Warmers, scheduled for February could be just the ticket!

A spokesperson from Fix Events, who organise the winter series said: "Our Winter Warmer Running series brings you 5K runs, 10K runs and half marathons across the UK at stunning venues supporting the charity Shelter. Come and run with family and friends at these fully race chip timed runs."
