Our Retro gallery takes a look back at the runners through the years aiming to win that prize of a Christmas pudding!
The event has grown in popularity from the first race in 1993, when 600 finished, to recent years when the entry has had to be limited to around 3,000. Our picture gallery shows the runners, many in fancy dress, from 1996 to 2004.
