Christmas Lights Running Tour route

The Gentle Jingle is for people who are comfortable running 10k in 12-13 minute miles. If you would like to do this event at a faster pace, please check out the Merrily Medium or Festively Fast events.

The route begins at the heart of London's illuminations, Covent Garden.

From there, the route will continue through the streets of the capital and runners will marvel at the lights of Carnaby Street, Regent Street, Seven Dials, Oxford Street, Sloane Square, Harrods, Trafalgar square and many more places you may not be familiar with.

After about 2 hours of festive fun, the tour will end at Victoria Station.

FAQs

Will I be able to keep up?

Yes. 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.

Gentle Jingle (if you're comfortable running 10k in 12-13 minute miles)
Merrily Medium (if you're comfortable running 10k in 10-11 minute miles)
Festively Fast (if you're comfortable running 10k in 9 minute miles or under)

Please note that the above groups are available on several different dates throughout December, so if you can't make one, check out the other dates on Let's Do This.

What if I can't run 10km?
Don't worry, there are 5km versions of the event available on Let's Do This as well.
