About This Event
The Chasewater Christmas Pudding Dash brings festive spirit to the trail running calendar with a holiday-themed race around Chasewater Reservoir in Staffordshire. This December event encourages runners to don their best seasonal costumes while tackling the undulating paths and trails that circle the scenic reservoir. Set in Chasewater Country Park, the race combines the natural beauty of the reservoir setting with a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. The event supports Shelter, a charity dedicated to addressing housing emergencies and homelessness throughout the UK. With prizes for both performance and creativity in fancy dress, along with a bespoke medal and professional photography included, this race celebrates both running achievement and holiday joy. The mostly flat, compacted trail surface makes it accessible to a wide range of runners while still providing gentle undulations to keep the course interesting.
