About the race
The Christmas Canter is a festive running event held at the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds, UK. Offering multiple distance options—5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon, and ultra marathon—runners can choose their preferred challenge. The course is entirely on road, featuring rolling hills with about 600 feet of elevation, and passes through several villages including Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham, and Denham.
Shorter distances follow an out-and-back route, while longer distances involve loops on the Windmill Way and Golding Hills routes. Aid stations with drinks and snacks are available every 10k. The event encourages festive spirit with optional fancy dress and provides bespoke finisher medals.
Parking is included, and participants must bring their own cups due to a cupless policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
