YULE JOG
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS RUNNING TOUR 2020
Kick-start your festive season with a magical 5k or 10k running tour of London's Christmas lights!
On a brand new route for 2020, you'll see the streets of London transformed by a series of world famous light displays and twinkling trees. In small groups of similar paced runners, you'll be led by a Christmas-loving guide to jingle through the 2020 highlights, with plenty of time for pho-ho-hotos and a little festive history too.
Of course, every runner gets a santa hat at the start of the run. Fancy dress encouraged, but not compulsory.

"What a fantastic evening! Our tour guide Sophie took us on an amazing 10k ish jog round London’s Christmas Lights, with Christmas music and snacks en route. A great way to see the lights, some of which I didn’t even know existed! Sophie was excellent with great guiding all the way round and lots of information about the sights, traditions and general facts about the places we visited. A definite for next year.

"Took part in the Yule Jog 10k last night - 24 Santa’s, 1 reindeer and 2 elves (I was one of them)! Absolutely brilliant tour, Matt was an amazing leader, funny and entertaining and kept us all together, which was a feat in itself! Had an amazing time, so much fun and all ready for Christmas now! Highly recommend! The biggest question is what’s the costume next year?!"

Here's what's been said about our group private Yule Jog tours! Fill out the form on this page ASAP to book your private tour for the 2020 season!
"I organised a private Christmas lights 10k running tour for my running mates and have to say from the ease of booking to the actual event itself it was fantastic! Our tour guide Cat was great fun and knowledgable and we had lots of laughs along the way. The route was fab as we got to see so many wonderful light displays that normally we wouldn’t get the opportunity to admire and had lots of fab photos taken whilst singing along to festive tunes. A really nice plus was how many people along the streets clapped, cheered and wished us merry Christmas. Overall the tour was really good value too! We are already deciding on our next one and have had lots more of our running group wanting to join us after seeing the great time we had! Thanks Cat and to the Secret London Runs team - we will be back
