Entrants can take part as a pairs relay team of two or individually if they fancy a bigger challenge. The race will start at the Gails Bakery next to Paddington Station, where runners will be able to collect their race number and tracker.
You will then set off either on an anticlockwise or clockwise run around the Central Line, collecting a selfie – as proof – at each of the 27 stations.
If you are in a pairs relay team, one runner will go to the Tube Station and grab a daily travel card and travel to your next meeting/swapover point on the Circle Line train while the other will run to meet you there. It’s then time to swap the tracker (your baton) for the travel card and agree on your next relay swapover/meeting point.
The distance between stations varies from 0.2 miles to 1.2 miles. The overall distance to run will be around 16 miles. There are no checkpoints, but plenty of shops! If you are injured or have had enough, then you can grab the tube back to the start.
There will be a special Circle Line Challenge medal for all finishers and the chance to grab a cake and a coffee as we finish in the bakery.
