ASICS London 10K 2020 - 10k in London, UK

ASICS London 10K route

This is a flat, fast route where you can make the most of competing on a completely closed course. This is a prime opportunity to hunt down a PB if you're after one.

Participants will head off down Picadilly, before looping north up Regents Street. Through Pall Mall, you'll run past St James's Palace, then heading east Towards Trafalgar Square. A beautiful stretch along the river at Embankment culminates at Westminster Bridge, and you'll finish off the race down Whitehall, after looping around Parliament Square.

As you race along the course there will be a variety of music every 450m ranging from reggae/funk to disco.

The race is amazing, and the course is great but the t-shirt collection this year was appalling and needs to be resolved in 2020, it tarnished an otherwise great day.

Fantastic organisation and a wonderful route around Central London. A decent wave system means you can chase a time and plenty of pacers on hand. Only minor negative is T-Shirt collection was a pain.
