Top 10 Boxing Day Races

Posted on Dec 04, 2017

Boxing Day running races

For many, Boxing Day means turkey sandwiches, games of Monopoly and watching repeats of Home Alone. For us crazy runner types, it means that too. But first, a race! Drag a few reluctant family members along with you and earn those treats!

To help you on your way, we've listed ten of our favourite:

1. Round the Lakes 10k - Poole

Starting of course with our local offering, the annual Round the Lakes 10k sees local runners drag themselves round the lake in Poole Park several times before being handed a bottle of bubbly at the end.

2. Pinewood Trails 5k - Slough

Leave the piles of hastily torn wrapping paper and head off to Black Park Country Park! Run around the boundaries of the famous Pinewood Studios and return to the finish at the country park.

3. Devils Punch Bowl 3.5m Fun Run - Hindhead

3.5 miles taking in Hindhead Commons, Gibbet Hill and the Devils Punch Bowl, this race provides the option to have a winter ale at the 2 mile point! Enter here

4. Leyland Boxing Day 10k - Worden Park, Leyland

Work off that turkey and trifle/Christmas pudding, with a Boxing Day run around Worden Park, Leyland.

5. The 43rd Saltwood Boxing Day 10k - Hythe

6. Glynneath Boxing Day 5 Mile Road Race - Glynneath (Nr Port Talbot)

Fantastic

These socks are the best running socks I have ever purchased

Good service, product is fit for purpose

Service is great, and the boxer shorts are good for running and so the job they are designed for. Little disappointed that they are not ethically sourced, they have a cheapish feel to them which was a surprise.

Thank you for your feedback Duncan. Runderwear's range of seamless underwear has sustainability benefits over cut and sew garments by reducing wastage of fabric at manufacturing stage. We are testing new fabrics that have been made using sustainable fibers and aim to bring these into our range in the near future. All our factories are quality control checked to the highest standard and our small team regularly visit them and are satisfied that working conditions are ok. We are somewhat surprised you find the pants have a cheapish feel to them. But maybe you mean that the material is not thick and when you stretch it and look up-close it has an almost gauze-like appearance; this is the nature of the product and gives it the moisture wicking properties. We hope you will like using them and will realize how comfy they are.

Great!

Super comfy and stay in place. U.K. size 10 and ordered small.

At last... chaff free running.

Had just about given up with the belief there were running shorts out there that don’t chaff. Purchased the long shorts, and have to say they are wonderful. They are stable, breathable, comfortable and total chaff free.
I would like to highlight I was under the impression that these were “proper” shorts, however they could possibly be described as a base layer shorts. Some form of lightweight run shorts are recommended to wear over them to cover your modesty. Wearing my lightweight run shorts over the top of them didn’t detract from the long shorts benefits.
I typically run up to 21km.
