Christmas Day parkruns: Hundreds of runners expected at festive 5k events across the West Midlands
Runners across the West Midlands will once again pause the presents and mince pies to head to their local Christmas Day parkrun.
The festive 5k events take place every year across the region, and, for some, it's the perfect chance to get their steps in before preparations for the big sit-down dinner begins.
Locals gather in force each year, solidifying the bond our many communities have, and this year as every year there are plenty of options on Christmas Day for runners hoping to get their fix.
