Check out your local running scene and you’ll find that there’s one race distance that surpasses all others in terms of popularity: 10km. This race distance has risen to the top of the charts over recent years for several reasons: racing for 6.2 miles is a meaningful challenge; the event requires an ideal blend of speed and endurance; and, importantly, the training can be easily fitted into your lifestyle.
Runners run along the Strand twice, at 1km and then again at 8km, making this a great place to watch the action.
The course passes many of London’s famous sights including Admiralty Arch, Nelson’s Column, St Paul’s Cathedral, Mansion House, the Bank of England, the Old Bailey, Somerset House, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
