A monthly 5K in St James Park — for club members who love a quick challenge

Swap your desk for fresh air and fast miles. Every month, the Last Friday of the Month 5K brings club members together for a friendly, competitive run through one of London’s most iconic green spaces.

Why You’ll Love It
• Two-lap scenic route through St James Park’s leafy paths — a perfect midday reset.

• Club camaraderie: Race alongside fellow members and push each other to new PBs.

• League points: Your best six races of the year count towards the club championship.

• Quick & convenient: 12:30 pm start, done in under an hour — back to the office glowing.

The Essentials
• Entry fee: £7 for affiliated members, £9 for unaffiliated.

• Start time: 12:30 pm sharp. Meet at the Duck Island Cottage from midday.

• Cut-off: 35 minutes — whether you’re gunning for a PB or just holding pace, it’s a fun push to the line.

Race Day Tips
• Getting there: St James Park is the closest tube station. Plenty of buses stop nearby.

• Come ready: No changing rooms or showers. Public toilets (20p card-only) are near the Bandstand (~500 m away).

• Bag drop: Bring a labelled waterproof bag — valuables are left at your own risk.

• Hydration: No on-course water; grab something after from the Yummy Bar & Kitchen or nearby cafés.

• Safety first: No headphones or audio devices — marshals need to be heard.
