Seize this opportunity to run around one of London's most renowned green spaces, Greenwich Park, and soak in the amazing views of central London, Canary Wharf, the O2 and the River Thames. Runners will also be able to glimpse the historic Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum and The Queens House.
Beginning and ending at the Bandstand in the heart of the park, this mixed-terrain route will take runners around a circular 5k lapped route, with 5k runners completing one lap, and 10k runners completing two.
Every kilometre from 1-5km and 1-10km will be accurately marked out with signposts. There will also be marshals stationed throughout the course to guide runners on the right course, as well as support you all the way to the finish.

Was a very good race, at first I thought it was very expensive however loved the goodie bag and it made up for the price.The 10k route is good however that hill on the 3rd and 4th lap is a bit to much in my personal opinion.

Really great atmosphere, the course was challenging but not so much that it demotivates you. The scenery in Greenwich park is beautiful so such a great venue to do a 5k or 10k. Every member of staff was really helpful and motivated all the runners.

Great vibes. Great track. Good people. Just one minor bit of feedback - didn’t want a super heavily branded mug or headband!
