This year the course was 8.6 miles and took runners through the beautiful surroundings of Castlewellan Forest and all the way to the top of Slieve Croob where the views were stunning. Santa’s and Turkey’s were amongst the athlete’s who paired up to take on the muddy tracks, steep hills of the tough but enjoyable race.
