In this event the runners participate in the pudding race while dressed up in fancy costumes. This is a fun relay race where the teams tackle unusual obstacles while carrying a Christmas pudding on a tray. Many observers lined up during this great celebration which is done to raise money for charity. Other than these racers there are well-loved street performers who will be entertaining the audiences before and after the race.

As far as the spectators and participants are concerned, a huge crowd is gathered every year to cheer up the participants as about 150 contestants participate in the event.
