About this race
Runners at Lee Valley VeloPark race within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London, using a venue originally constructed for cycling. RunThrough stages 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon events at this location, accommodating quick evening races, club runners aiming for a personal best, and individuals progressing to longer distances.
The setting is distinctive for a road race because of the complex also housing an indoor 250 m velodrome, a BMX racing track, a one-mile road circuit, and 5 miles of mountain bike trails. The velodrome has a seating capacity of 6,750, features a Siberian pine surface, and was a permanent Olympic and Paralympic venue. The VeloPark, which succeeded the Eastway Cycle Circuit, is linked by RunThrough to several of its series, such as Chase The Moon, Chase The Sun, Women Run, Santa Runs, and Top Flight.
