We’re now into the latter parts of the 2026 Park Race series and on to the eighth race. This time will be in Streatham, south west London, on Tuesday 7th July.

Race Centre

The race will be based at the Bull. The pub serves food and drink, and there will be the usual opportunity to revisit route choices with other runners. Kit can be left while you run (at you own risk).
Note that due to online entry (see below), you do not need to come to the Tankard before your run if you choose – you can go directly to the start. However you must come back to the pub to download.

These courses are offered:

There is one road that both courses cross twice, but it is only usable by bicycles at the expected crossing point.
