About this event
On Saturday 29th November, the Greenfingers Charity Christmas Pudding Fun Run will take place in Wendover, starting and finishing at the Bel & The Dragon (Red Lion). We would be absolutely delighted to have you involved.
This brand-new event is more than just a sponsored fun run. It’s a chance to support Greenfingers Charity, a Buckinghamshire-based national organisation dedicated to creating magical gardens for life-limited children in hospices across the UK. These inspiring outdoor spaces offer children and their families a place to play, learn, grow, care, remember and connect with nature - bringing comfort, joy, and precious memories during the most challenging times.
Those wishing to take part can choose between two route options, 2km or 5km which we hope will make it accessible for all ages and abilities. We’re inviting everyone to embrace the festive spirit by dressing up in seasonal attire, from Santa hats to full Christmas Pudding costumes. Whether walking or running, it’s all about coming together to make a difference.
To make the day even more magical, the event coincides with the Wendover Christmas lights switch-on, creating a truly festive atmosphere for the whole community.
Together, we can put the FUN into FUNdraising and make this Christmas truly unforgettable for those who need it most.
