🎄 Rudolph’s Burn is Back for a Second Year – and This Time There Are Even More Surprises!
After the success of last year's Rudolph's Burn, we're bringing it back for a second year running! And this time, we're adding a little more Christmas magic to the trails at Llantrithyd Deer Park.
Expect a few mischievous elves hanging out in the trees, perhaps a surprise or two around the next corner, and possibly even a cheerful-looking fellow rocking in his chair beside a roaring fire.
Whatever you do, don't run too fast or you might miss him! 🎅
This year's Rudolph's Burn is very much one for the whole family. Whether you're a keen runner looking to clock up the kilometres or a family wanting to enjoy a festive adventure together, we'd love you to join us.
And to make it even more family-friendly, for every adult entering, one child under 12 runs FREE!
🦌 A Trail Run with a Difference
Set within the beautiful, historic Llantrithyd Deer Park in the Vale of Glamorgan, our course takes you around the park's ancient shelterbelt, through woodland and open countryside, with the chance to spot some of our Red, Fallow and Sika deer along the way.
It's proper off-road running, so expect a little mud, some hills, plenty of fresh air and hopefully lots of smiles.
You can walk, jog or run. There's no pressure to be fast, and with Christmas surprises hidden around the course, taking your time might actually be an advantage!
