We are passionate about helping you meet your race day goals, and raising funds to build play equipment for kids on London’s south side. Whether it’s a BQ, a PR, or your first attempt at a marathon or half marathon, our insanely flat, straight, sheltered course is ideal!
When you’re done you can go home wearing one of the most beautiful medals you’ve ever seen, and tell all your friends about running LONDON!
All funds raised from our race go directly to building play equipment, refurbishing sports fields, and improving MerriMac Park! Literally, every cent raised!
Format: The full and half marathon race events will start promptly at 7 am and the 5K at 7:15 am. The course will remain open for 5 hours after the last competitor starts.
Course: The start and finish will be located at Merri-Mac Park. All course maps can be viewed here. The flat, tree-lined scenic rails will take you toward Darby Creek Metro Park.
