Sherwood Christmas 10k & 5k 2026

The Sherwood Christmas 10k & 5k is a festive trail race held at Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire, offering 10k, 5k, and junior run options. Taking place late in the year during the Christmas season, the junior race begins at 9:30 am, followed by the main races at 10:00 am. The course features multi-terrain, undulating paths through the forest, providing more variety than a flat road race. This event is suitable for club runners, beginners, and families. It embraces holiday spirit with opportunities for runners to dress up, volunteers cheering along the route, and a prize for the best Santa-inspired outfit. The race also supports Shelter, an organization assisting individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of it.
