All set for a Christmas Cracker

Runners from all over the south east – and some from even further afield - will be descending upon Fowlmead Country Park in Sholden, near Deal on Sunday for the second running of the Kent Christmas Cracker.

Advance entries for the charity road running race to raise funds for Martha Trust indicate that around 200 runners of all ages will be descending upon the Park for the event.

The race is organised to raise money for Martha Trust by Diligence Media and Marketing via their specialist road running sister company Nice Work. Race Director Martin Burke is anticipating a good humoured day with festive fun a priority: "In addition to medals for all finishers, each particpant will collect a Christmas Pudding when they finish - and there will be mulled wine and mince pies for everybody too. We’ve attracted a great entry already – but there will still be spaces available for those who want to sign up on the day”

The 5 mile race is over a flat, traffic-free course utlising the purpose-built cycle road in the park. The race starts at 10.30 am with a Children's Race taking place at 10.15.

In addition to the Kent Christmas Cracker, the company is organising the Christmas Pudding Dash on December 22nd, which has already attracted almost 350 runners, the Lydd Half Marathon on March 9th and the Rye Summer Series in the summer of 2008.
