Do you have what it takes to beat the Pud?!

This year the Witham Boxing Day Five Mile Race will be run virtually in a location of your choice. Our pudding will still be running and you'll be able to see their time on the results page and pictures on social media! You can run the event at any point from the 21st to the 31st of December 2020. 

We are expecting some international entries too, so you're not just racing against the Pud but also athletes and clubs from all over the world! 

There is no lower age limits to entries so feel free to make it a family affair where you can create your own team to perhaps compete against another family who you are friends with! 

This year we also have a medal available to all entrants! 

You can also download a bib to give you that authentic racing feel and certificates are also downloadable! 

As part of your entry fee is free membership to Witham Running Club (if you're not a member of a club already) until 31/03/2021. If you feel you can run five miles in under an hour, you are over the age of 18, and would like to take this option up please select "yes" in the questions section. 

When you complete your five mile run/walk and enter your time on here, please be sure to tag us on social media with your pictures/stories #ibeatthepud or #thepudbeatme #virtualboxingday5 @Withamrunningclub
