5km Santa Run 2011 (4 December 2011)

No previous experience is required for this event. The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not 'winning', so you can run, jog or walk - you decide. Plus, there is a free Santa suit for every runner!

Military 5km (TBC March 2012)

Taking place on private land in Redhill, Surrey, it’s an off-road run with water obstacles, muddy terrain, trees, hills and even an (empty) swimming pool. Do not expect a walk in the park!

adidas Women’s 5km Challenge (TBC September 2011)
