Course information
The Hyde Park 5K course is a single lap which starts just north of the Bandstand and runs up towards Marble Arch, past the Joy of Life Fountain and towards the Reformers Tree in the centre of the park. It then heads alongside North Carriage Drive, before heading south and past the Serpentine. From here, we run to the old football pitches where you can see the Albert Memorial in the distance, and back past the Serpentine waterfall. The course is all on paths, with a few crossings of the sandy horse riding tracks. It is relatively flat with a few gentle slopes.
Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Meeting point
The main event site is between the Hyde Park Bandstand and Louisa Duckworth Walk.
