Up and Running Christmas Cracker 2026

The Up and Running Christmas Cracker is a 5k and 10k running event in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow, set in the quiet period between Christmas and New Year. Both main races begin at 10 am. The event also features a kids race and a toddler dash, making it suitable for families as well as adults seeking a short winter run. The course is located within Kelvingrove Park, with the start point at Glasgow G3 6BY. Up and Running Events organizes the race as part of the Up and Running Christmas Cracker series. Its timing provides a clear purpose: a post-Christmas run for those who wish to move, compete, or bring children before the year concludes.
