Christmas Pudding Race

The Brackla Harriers Merthyr Mawr Christmas Pudding Race isa landmark event in the South Wales running calendar.

Taking place on a Sunday in early December (tide dependent), the race attracts a faithful following, averaging in recent years over 700 entrants (18 years+).

The event appeals to all types of runners – from elite athletes donning their club vests to fun runners in their festive fancy dress. It is just over 6 miles, taking in arange of terrains including ‘the big dipper’- Europe’s second highest sand dune, with a mulled wine and mince pie stop halfway.

More than 80 Brackla Harrier marshals look forward towel coming runners old and new to this year’s event.

Each and every year, as part of the Pudding Race planning process, Brackla Harriers consider the charitable organisations that will benefit from the event. In addition to this, everyone that chooses not to receive a Christmas Pudding at the end of the race will have the equal amount of money donated directly to chosen charities, thanks to main sponsor - JCP Solicitors
