The Chelmsford Brew Co 12k's of Christmas

About The Chelmsford Brew Co 12k's of Christmas

Running four days before Christmas, The Chelmsford Brew Co 12k's of Christmas takes place on 19 December 2026 as a 12 km trail run based at the Anne Knight Building in Chelmsford, Essex. Billed as a social occasion rather than a competitive race, the event incorporates brewery visits into the route itself, with participants collecting a drink at a checkpoint and another at the finish venue, the Voodoo Keller Bar.

Registration happens inside the bar, where the course also begins and ends via basement stairs. Runners receive a Christmas-themed medal on completion, along with a bag of crisps. The route is available as a GPX file and on Strava, with a downloadable narrative provided as backup. Fancy dress is encouraged, and the best dressed finisher wins free entry to the Chelmsford Brewery 10k in 2027. Participants must carry a mobile telephone with an ICE contact matching their sign-up number. The venue is in licensed premises, so the event is restricted to those aged 18 and over, and dogs are not permitted except in the rear seating area.
