This Thursday we will be running a very special event that has been part of the fabric of the Coburg Harriers for nearly a century.

The event is called the Pudding Gift and yes, you can win a Christmas Pudding. After such a tough year being locked up and restricted, we’d love everyone to come along to the Pudding Gift and join in.

The Pudding Gift has two events being the Pudding Gift – a 120m handicap race and the Pudding Mile handicap race. Winners of each will win a Christmas Pudding and a beautiful sash. The open event races are handicapped which is designed to give everyone a fair chance of winning, as not everyone will start from the same line.

It’s important we have lots of people coming and joining in as we have special guests coming and we want to show off and demonstrate everything great about our athletics community.

There will be some light food and drinks to share after the presentations. It is also the end of year celebration for the Coburg venue’s Masters group.

This year and for the first time we will also have Mini Pudding Gifts to encourage greater junior and Little Athletics participation and will run three age group versions of the 120m handicap: U10, U15 and an open event.

Now, we need some details from you. We want to know if you are (1) coming along and (2) running.

Please reply to this email by 8:00pm Wednesday. If you can’t commit by then and still want to come, then arrive early and register no later than 6:30pm on Thursday. We aim to start the first 120m heat around 7pm.
