The Great Sprout Scuttle & Pyjama Express
The Great Sprout Scuttle & Pyjama Express is a festive trail running event held at Normanby Hall Country Park & Gardens on 13 December 2026. It includes multiple running and family activities across the park and uses off road trails with some muddy sections and rural scenery.
Events include:
- 5k
- 10k
- 3k
- ~2 km team challenge
The 5k is dog friendly. The 10k is licensed through the Trail Running Association and is run under UK Athletics guidance. The newly themed ChristMESS 3k is a non timed family fun route run in waves of participants every ten minutes; children under nine must be accompanied by an adult. The Santa's Super Sleigh Team Challenge is for teams of five, for participants aged 16 and over, has space for twelve teams and requires fundraising; the full ticket income for each team entry is donated to Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
Ticket prices listed for the day include a range for the 5k and 10k, a separate price for the 3k, and a per person charge for the sleigh teams. Curly's Athletes again partners with Lindsey Lodge Hospice and offers options to support fundraising, including donated free entries in return for a minimum fundraising commitment.
The 2026 medal design features a sprout in a wheelbarrow, Santa, a reindog and festive splodges. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
