Chase the Pudding 2016 - Weymouth

Dress up as Santa and Chase the Pudding

When: 16th December 2018, from 9am

What is it?

On Sunday 16th December, Weymouth beach will be filled with costumed Santas for the 11th annual Chase the Pudding event.

Chase the Pudding is a 5K run where the participants all dress up as Santa, and run after a person dressed as a Christmas Pudding.  This quirky event raises money for the Will Mackaness Trust and the event encourages friends, family, and colleagues to get together and take part, whilst raising sponsorship money to help the charity.

Registration on the day will open at 9am, with a mass warm up at 10.45am and the race itself beginning at 11am.  Also taking place this year is a 2K Chase the Elf run, which under 14s can take part in (fancy dress is a must).
