Solstice Social

Christmas social run and charity fundraiser

Join us for a social run on a 50k loop around Exeter on Sunday 20th December 2026, devised especially for Ruby Red Running by local runner, Andrew Iley. The run is free of charge although we will be collecting donations for a charity close to our hearts: the MND charity My Name'5 Doddie Foundation 

What to expect: 

  • A special 50k route hand crafted by local runner Andrew Iley, encompassing some of the best bits of the of his favourite routes in and around Exeter.
  • Free to enter. Donations to MND Charity My Name'5 Doddie Foundation - via this Just Giving Link.
  • Start at sunrise (approx 8am) and finish (that's the plan!) at sunset (approx 4pm) at the iconic Ridgetop Park
  • This is not a race, but a social run. We will have muster points along the route to allow faster runners to go ahead and slower runners to catch up to the group. (The boring bit: This is part of the conditions of our insurance for the day - if faster runners chose not to wait at muster points they will be running as an individual and not covered by our insurance)
  • There will be no 'aid stations' so bring supplies! That said, we are planning our muster points to encompass a pub or two and might have a 'pop up' surprise or two for you!
  • Limit of 30 runners - so don't hesitate to sign up.
