The Nice Work Sherwood Christmas 10k is a festive trail race held at Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire, offering 10k, 5k, and Junior Run distances. The courses follow multi-terrain forest paths and feature undulating sections, meaning it is not a flat road race. It is designed for a wide range of participants, from regular runners aiming for prizes to first-timers and families seeking a run in the woods to conclude the year. The race incorporates a Christmas theme without overshadowing the running: participants are encouraged to embrace festive attire, with a prize for the best dressed runner alongside trophies and prizes for top finishers. All entrants receive a custom medal and complimentary race photographs. The event also generates funds for Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity assisting individuals experiencing homelessness, families in temporary housing, and others facing the risk of losing their homes.

Rumble In The Jumble VI is a six-hour timed run on flat railway paths, structured around repeated laps instead of a single fixed race distance. Runners may stop after reaching targets like 5K, 10K, or a half marathon, or continue within the time limit. The course follows a flat out-and-back route on a disused railway line, primarily on tarmac with a brief trail section. Each lap measures approximately 3.28 to 4.37 miles. The route is traffic-free and requires no navigation, allowing the day to focus on pacing, lap counting, and deciding your running distance.

Salcey Forest Christmas 10k, 5k & Junior Fun Run takes participants along mixed forest trails in Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire. This event offers three distances: a 10k, a 5k, and a junior run. The paths are nearly flat, making the race suitable for beginners, families, and experienced runners seeking an off-road run without significant climbs. The terrain can become muddy, contributing to a winter trail atmosphere distinct from road races. The 5k follows one circuit of the forest route, while the 10k covers the same route twice. Seasonal fancy dress is encouraged, with Santa hats and Christmas attire fitting the occasion. All finishers receive medals, discounted parking is available, and the event raises funds for Shelter, a charity focused on housing and homelessness.

All three races begin at Oundle Primary School on a precisely measured course. The course winds through country lanes in and around Northamptonshire villages, featuring rolling terrain rather than flat city roads. The 20-mile race provides a substantial, structured challenge for those aiming for a marathon, and the shorter races cater to participants not running the full distance. Entry includes a custom medal and complimentary participant photos, with awards for top finishers.
