The Robin and the Elf Christmas Chase – Manvers Lake
Get into the festive spirit with The Robin and the Elf Christmas Chase at Manvers Lake on Sunday 20th December 2026.
Bring your family and friends for a fun, festive morning outdoors, where you can walk, jog or run around the beautiful lakeside setting. With a friendly atmosphere and plenty of Christmas cheer, it’s an opportunity to get active, enjoy the fresh air and make memories together.
Participants can complete up to three laps of the 1.25-mile route, choosing their own pace. All ages and abilities are welcome, and festive fancy dress is encouraged, with Santa’s, elves, snowmen and Rudolph’s all invited to join the fun!
The event is raising money for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance, helping to support the vital work of the charity.
The Christmas Chase is held in memory of Robin, who passed away unexpectedly on 24 December 2023 while out running. Robin loved Christmas, running and, above all, spending time with people. The event brings these passions together to celebrate his life and keep his memory alive.
