Organized by the local running community, the event strikes a nice balance between festive fun and genuine competition. Every finisher earns a medal and the namesake sweet treat, while category winners take home additional prizes. Starting from Craven Leisure Centre, the routes showcase Skipton's scenic surroundings — a satisfying way to start the year with some proper miles in the legs.
