Chase the Pudding - Dash, Laugh, and Make a Difference!

This December, swap the sofa for sand and join the most festive 5km fundraising fun run of the year – Chase the Pudding on Weymouth Beach!

Imagine this: the crisp winter air, the sea sparkling under the low December sun, and hundreds of Santas racing along the shoreline, laughing, jogging, and cheering each other on.

Whether you sprint, jog, or stroll, it’s all about having fun, feeling festive, and helping young people in our community.

For younger participants, our 2km “Chase the Elf” run guarantees smiles, giggles, and a sense of achievement for little legs.
