A group of our team went down for the 7pm leg of the race. It was a warm summer night which made it fun to run a lap on the Thames before passing the baton onto the next group. The Tower of London and surrounding area was good to grab drinks and food afterwards.… read more

The 5km and 10km relay routes take runners on a epic loop, along the Thames, past the Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, Southbank, The London Eye, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tower of London, finishing by running over Tower Bridge!

Haven't done any sort of relay since `i was at school, but this event was so cool. The scenery at night was incredible and I had an amazing experience
Did it with a group and had an awesome time, the atmosphere was like nothing I've ever had before in a race. Keep it up!
Ive been running through london for years, and this event was an amazing way to keep doing it! You'll catch me back here next year!
Brilliant intro to running races - not what I expected for my first 5k but I enjoyed it a lot!
I definitely found my evening slot better than the mid-afternoon one, just because of all of the traffic, but overall I couldnt have enjoyed the event more
Such a cool kind of race, it felt really special being able to take part while I would normally never be able to this late at night
This event gets better with every year! Seeing all the sights of london at such a lovely time of year cant be beaten
The atmosphere and the helpers were so incredible, its my second year of coming to this event and it was just as great as the first!
Great event! Lovely route by the Thames and the marshals were very friendly and helpful. Feels amazing to be part of such a big thing logistically, and even better that it's for a charitable cause! Will definitely do it next year again.
Love it, love it, love it. This is not your run-of-the-mill corporate London race but all about getting people to run together and enjoy London at times when the city is at its most beautiful, all while raising money for a good cause. I met so many lovely people at the London Relay in the two years it's been running, I can't wait for it to return in 2020.
Super fun event to do with friends. Lovely loop around all the major landmarks and a flat course bar the odd set of steps. Would recommend!
A great experience and happy to take part in this. The course is really nice as it winds up and down the Thames. 2 small issues - the course wasn't that clearly marked in a couple of places and depending on the time of day you choose, there can be quite a bit of people dodging. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed running this, including chatting with the lovely volunteers before and after the run.
I was prompted by friends to go and do this on my lunch break. There were some awesome people organising this and they were super helpful. The course was easy other than a mistake on my part but running buy the river is always a joy. I felt proud to be running with the batton and that I was taking part in something special. If you are able to take part in this next time I would highly recommend it.
Did two early morning runs on my own but it was extremely peaceful and great to see the city late at night. The Marshal's were very friendly and gave helpful information regards to the course route. The course was very easy to follow and pretty much flat the entire way. It was a privilege to carry the Let's Do This baton round twice and am so glad I did the event despite the early morning wake ups
Such a cool concept and an event like no other! I filled the Monday 2am slot - that time when people are in amongst their deepest sleep after a busy weekend - and there I was running around the Thames with my overenthusiastic colleague Charles. There is something epic about taking part in events like this and I really couldn't recommend it more highly.

Did the London City Relay - 10K in 2019Super fun night time run at 2am. Love the relaxed atmosphere and the idea here and the crew at the meetpoint were great fun to talk to!
The course was great fun - even if it's a bit crowded, you really feel the vibrancy of London when you run through it like this, especially on the south side of the river. Running it with a couple friends only makes it more enjoyable. The atmosphere at the start/finish is good too, and the t-shirts are fantastic!
Lovely run along the river at just before noon on the 1st of July. Did get a little lost around Blackfriars bridge, and obviously it was starting to get quite busy around the river at that time, but all in all a lovely event. The organisers were great, the venue was lovely, and there was a real feeling of community about the whole thing. Might sign up for another leg!
Did this three times all very different all great fun including stunning and uplifting 6am trot as well as the last leg/party. Great atmosphere supporting some good causes. Seems like wins all round
What a great event. I did a 5k in 2018 and a volunteer slot and am already booked in to do at least a 10K and 1 Marshall slot and may still sign up for more
Whether you do it by yourself, join a group of strangers or run with a group of friends, this event is so fun. Go for the evening times to avoid the sightseeing traffic (not that bad during busy times). Really proud to be part of the event
You don't get many chances in life to be part of something special but this relay was just amazing - great atmosphere and the thrill of handing the baton on to strangers- who quickly became friends was really moving. Fantastic location, and runners, volunteers, and passers by all had smiles on their faces - a truly ispirational event.
Oh my word how do I start this? This relay changed my life💛💙It’s a beautiful 10k starting from city hall by Tower bridge, down past the london eye, past hotels/Boutiques, art galleries, gift shops, over Westminster bridge, along the river over looking the boats past the busy streets or not if you’re running through the late night & early morning, still & breathtaking london, up past The Tower of London then over the iconic tower bridge where you can see your finish, down again heading towards City hall to be met by a wall of yellow & noise(the Marshall’s) who are cheering you in 💛💙Pats on backs, hugs, watches stopped, water & snacks placed in your hands & a medal rung around your neck... then the chatting about the route starts, the twists the turns more hugs & as the baton is passed over “Don’t drop the Baton!!” & photos are taken off goes the next team or even lone runner, more clapping whooping ensuing ... as a runner time to take in your surroundings The route is just stunning taking in london at its best, then there’s the people who make this relay the best ... the hugs,slaps on backs, the talking & more importantly the swooping of stories& tales, & adventures shared with each other Inspiring stories of hope & adventures shared ... really for me it’s the people of the relay that make it what it is .. which is inspiring, thought provoking full of colour & it lifts your spirits... & have I told you about the laughter & sharing of the joy of the runs... 💛💙You may arrive as a stranger to this relay but you always leave as a new friend, inspired to make a difference in the small ways that are extremely important ... you will leave your run that day & I promise you will soon return Acceptance and tolerance understanding love hope and inspiration will always find you at this relay I LOVE IT 💛💙
I did two stages of the London City Relay last summer--and each stage blew me away with the friendly and fun atmosphere. I did one with a smaller group and one with a bigger group, chatting and laughing and posing for photos with the relay baton, and then crossing the Tower Bridge! That was incredible because you could hear all the supporters cheering you on! Heading back into the home stretch and Relay HQ are the music and joy was second to none. Plus the finishing stage party was just awesome. Huge inflatable unicorn, beer, people hugging... it was an incredible experience and I CANNOT WAIT to do it again this year!!! Plus having the event support a London youth charity is just amazing. Run run run and get yourself signed up. Plus this year I hear there are awesome medals for all runners! VERY COOL.
Did a middle of the night slot with brilliant company from Annie Ross. Really loved running through central London in the middle of the night whilst everyone else slept and was a really beautiful course. Looking forward to being involved this year!
A really cool event and all for a great cause. I did my leg with a bunch of mates mid week after work. The free t shirt and refreshments on arrival was a lovely touch.
Ran the 5km finale last year and absolutely loved it! The London Relay is such a wicked celebration of all that makes London great. Can't wait to run this year too!
Fantastic cause with really enthusiastic organizers. Huge respect for those who were pulling night shifts keeping this relay going for 30 days straight, and I wish them well with future attempts! The course is fine, but I imagine you might get lost, get to know the route. I ran this with a big team of people, so great atmosphere the whole way around. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely loved this, it was like having our own little race with a small group of great friends. My friend signed up to hold the baton and asked us all to run with him. We got a later slot so we could have drinks and a catch up before, then turned up to the tent around 10pm I think. It was really well organised, great T-shirt’s and everyone knew what they were doing. We got a little lost once but I think that’s part of the fun 😂 It was fun running through London at night, and you definitely felt like you were part of something. It was a really cool London thing to do and I can’t recommend it enough, it’s for a great cause too.
