Start/Finish/Race HQ

Both the main race and fun run start and finish in the same location. The start and finish are in different locations, a short walk from the Race HQ. 

By car

The event will be most easily accessed by car as it is located in a rural village.  There is limited car parking available at the village hall and this will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.  Parking will then be within the village.

By train

There are train stations near the event site, the Three Oaks, Ore and Hastings. However, you may need to get a taxi or cycle to the event as it is several miles to the race start from each of the railway stations.

This event is doing its best to work sustainably to ensure that the carbon footprint of the race is kept as low as possible.

To help reduce the carbon footprint of this race, runners are encouraged to bring their own camel packs or reusable cups for this race. The teams at the water stations will be happy to fill any receptacle that you might bring with you so that you stay hydrated and racing fit!

If you are able to car share, then this would be wonderful!

Highlights

• Bespoke medal
• Free photographs
• Trophies & prizes for leading runners
• Prize for best dressed runner in festive fancy dress!

I really enjoyed this race, great fun. Thank you. Nicola T

Excellent everything - thank you organisers and marshals 👏👏😁 Linda B

I would definitely recommend this. Although not a long run it’s certainly enjoyable. Just remember trail shoes... Mark R

This is such a good atmosphere, fun event pre-Christmas. Lots of fancy dress. Challenging trail, up and down through woods, fields, and mud. A few of us ran it together, not for a time but for the fun of it. Nice Works are so generous. At the finish, you get a good medal, an individual Christmas pudding, mince pies and mulled wine. Plus bottles of wine for all age group winners. Over 400 runners this year. All in all, a terrific event. Steve M

I love this race, having just completed it for the third year in a row. It’s small, it’s friendly, it’s full of fancy dress and contains plenty of mud! Ellie S

This is a fantastic 8km(ish) trail race around fields and woods. There’s plenty of ‘Santas’ and ‘elves’ taking part, which makes the starting lane nice and colourful. It can get quite muddy, so trail shoes are a must. Lucinda R

Measuring in at 7km this is a relatively short but challenging trail run. Well organised & well supervised it’s a mixture of field & woodland trails with a very short bit of farm track. Mark R

The course is tough, lots of hills, potentially lots of mud, and lots of root dodging, but my goodness it's good fun! Embrace the mud with a good pair of trail shoes (definitely recommended!) and go for it! Ellie S

Having done Pudding Dash 2 years in a row, I love this event. This year, there was mud, mud and more mud. The course starts with a small wooded section. Then a few fields and hills. Then back to the woods. You dego need trail shoes. Lovely countryside. It's all off-road. Good facilities. There are plenty of toilets and parking. You can pre order tea and bacon butty for afterwards. I wholeheartedly recommend this event! Lucy B
