This is a mixed terrain event suitable for all abilities. 'London Calling' consists of an 'out and back' route along the trailway, offering participants the opportunity to choose their own distance, from 5K to ultra-marathon. All finishers of one lap or more will receive a medal.
We offer flexible start times between 8am and 9.30am. Just turn up when you're ready to run. All participants to finish by 3pm (maximum 7 hours). Number pick-up is on the day at race registration before you start the event.
We will have an aid and drinks station at the start/finish of each lap, with a selection of savoury and sweet items. There will also be an area to leave your own items to avoid any kit or fuel-ralated anxiety. Please note we do not provide plastic cups; bring your own. Toilets are available at the start/finish area.
We're partnering with the Big Yellow Bus Garden Project, a local charity kindly hosting our start/finish. You can help support their latest project by making a donation when you enter this event (more info at checkout). We will also be taking donations on event day.
