The Great Sprout Scuttle & Pyjama Express
Curly's Athletes stages a festive trail event at Normanby Hall Country Park & Gardens on 13 December 2026. The programme combines off‑road running, a family fun run and a charity team challenge with partnership support from Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
Distances and event options:
- 5k dog friendly trail run
- 10k trail run licensed through the Trail Running Association and run under UK Athletics guidance
- 3k ChristMESS family fun run, untimed
The Great Sprout Scuttle 5k and 10k are described as off‑road trail runs across country park terrain with some muddy sections typical of December. Entry fees for the trail runs are listed between £20.50 and £23.50. The ChristMESS 3k is a themed family event with festive zones, run in waves of 200 every ten minutes to provide space on the course; it costs £10.00 and participants are encouraged to raise about £5 in sponsorship. Children under nine must be accompanied by an adult.
Santa's Super Sleigh Team Challenge is a fundraising race for teams of five. The event accepts twelve teams, charges £20 per team member, and donates 100% of the ticket income to Lindsey Lodge Hospice. Participants in this challenge must be 16 or over and are expected to provide one Santa, four reindeer and a wheeled sleigh. Curly's lists a 2026 medal design featuring a sprout in a wheelbarrow, Santa and a 'reindog'. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
