Start your year with a fast and flat race in one of London’s most picturesque parks. Battersea Park is a firm favourite for runners targeting a PB, thanks to its smooth, fully paved roads and flowing layout.

All races start and finish within the park, with a clearly marked course that is simple to follow and ideal for spectators to cheer you on at multiple points along the route. Whether you are stepping up to the Half Marathon or sharpening speed over 5K or 10K, this is a brilliant winter challenge.
