Victoria Park 5K, 10K & Half Marathon April

View all races for Apr 2027

Victoria Park Half Marathon, 10K & 5K April is organised by RunThrough in East London's Victoria Park. Part of a programme of races held at the venue throughout the year, the April event brings together three distances on the park's wide, predominantly flat paths, attracting runners seeking fast times alongside those tackling a new distance.

The courses follow tarmac paths through the park's landscaped grounds, using a multi lap format with shared sections and separate distance markings. Half Marathon runners complete approximately six and three-quarter laps, while the 10K covers three laps and the 5K one and a half. The Half Marathon has approximately 17 metres of elevation gain, making the course particularly suitable for maintaining a consistent pace. The paths remain open to other park users during the event.

All three distances are chip timed, with marshals, water stations and directional signs supporting runners around the laps. Finishers receive a themed medal, refreshments and free official race photography. An event village near St Marks Gate provides baggage storage, toilets and food and drink facilities.
