This December race at Victoria Park offers runners a choice of 5k, 10k, or half marathon on the same morning. It begins at St Marks Gate on Cadogan Terrace in East London, with chip timing for each distance and staggered starts: the half marathon begins first, followed by the 10k and then the 5k.
The route follows the park’s wide, flat paths, suitable for runners aiming for a personal best as well as those trying a new distance. The setup is straightforward: a contained London park course, three distance options, and flat running to aid pacing compared to hillier city routes.
