Christmas Day Park Run 

When: Saturday 25 December, 9am

Where: Forest Recreation Ground

How Much? Free 

Some people like to run on Christmas day. I’ve never met one but I’m told that they exist. If you’re one of those people who’d rather swap pastries in your pyjamas for a sweaty run around the park, then look no further than the Christmas Day Park Run at the Forest Recreation Ground. 

 

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
