Top 10 winter runs

Try our pick of the top 10 winter runs to regain the motivation we often lack through the winter. If you’ve not got a goal to work towards you’re unlikely to want to head out the door and train, especially during the cold winter months.

Having a running event to work towards in winter is a great way to keep your motivation up and make sure you stick to your training plan – and there are some fantastic winter races out there!

Cancer Research Winter Run 10k (1 February 2015)

Conquer the cold and join 15,000 runners for London’s coolest 10k! As well as doing good by raising funds for Cancer Research, this run takes you along a beautiful course past iconic landmarks and through flurries of snowfall.

Oh, and there is the promise of a cuddle from a polar bear at the finish line – how snuggly!
