Battersea Park 5K, 10K & Half Marathon July 2026

The Battersea Park 5k, 10k & Half Marathon takes place on a July morning in London, offering three distances on a single, flat park course. The half marathon begins first, with the 5k and 10k following, allowing participants to select a distance from a short, quick run to the full 21.1 km. The event is designed for uncomplicated running, featuring chip timing, marked kilometres, and a finish-area event village to ensure a straightforward experience. The course starts and ends at the Parks Bandstand, utilizing laps within Battersea Park instead of a point-to-point city route. This configuration benefits runners aiming for a personal best because of the entirely flat terrain, and it also allows spectators to see participants multiple times without extensive travel. Entry includes a themed medal, complimentary race photos, post-race refreshments, and marshals positioned around the course to offer guidance and encouragement.
