Join us in Crystal Palace Park this 29th November 2026 for a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Juniors Fun Run race. Located in the South East suburbs of London, and offering fantastic views of the surrounding area, this undulating course also passes the infamous dinosaur park! Bring the family along as well, as our junior race will be fun for the whole family!

The park is situated on the Norwood Ridge, offering views of Central London, Greenwich and the North Downs. This undulating route in the beautiful park is the perfect opportunity for a fun morning run, even passing a few dinosaurs along the course!
