FAQs

Will I be able to keep up?

Your guide will run at the pace of the slowest runner so that no one is left behind. Runners are asked to sign up to the group that they are most comfortable with, so you should be grouped with runners of a similar pace.

How big are the groups in the Christmas Lights Running Tours?

Groups are kept to a maximum of 10 people per pace.

What do I need to bring with me?

Bring your ticket on your phone and water if you usually run with it. Wear warmer clothes than you usually would for a run of this length as there will be a couple of stops throughout the run as the guides unveil London's untold history.

What are the junior tickets?

These tickets are for under 18s. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
