The race commences from the spectacular ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower, one of the park's most unique attractions. Runners will then loop around the enormous Olympic Stadium - site of Usain Bolt's 9.63 100m Olympic record - and along the waterfront with views toward the Lee Valley VeloPark.
The route is 2.5k long and therefore 5k runners will complete it twice with 10k participants doing it four times.
Course marshals will be stationed at all key points throughout the race and there are refreshment stations on the course.

Entrants will be given further race day information closer to the time.
Spectators are strongly encouraged to come along and recreate the atmosphere of the London 2012 games.
