Fancy running off a bit of that Christmas turkey next week?

If the answer is ‘yes’, then sign up for the Boxing Day Challenge which this year is being organised by Elliot Prince of Cheltenham Harriers.

The event, which takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse on 26th December, has become a regular feature on the festive sporting calendar over the past seven or eight years and was previously organised by James Brewer, who ran for Great Britain over 1,500 metres in the world championships in Berlin in 2009.

The promotional material reads: “Whether racing at the front, jogging with friends or walking off the trimmings from Christmas dinner; come and join us for the Boxing Day Challenge.”

All money raised will go to Winston’s Wish and Prince added: “People can compete over two or four miles. They can walk or run and bring the dog.”

Runners can register from 9am on the day and the event gets under way at 10.30am. The event is not timed.

There is a £12 entrance fee for adults on the day and £6 for children. Alternatively or runners can pre-enter online for a discounted entry fee at

www.theboxingdaychallenge.com or call 01242 515157 for more details.
