Organiser's Description

Join us for Chase The Sun Battersea Park 5k & 10k in August!

Battersea Park is one of London’s most picturesque parks and has been a favourite course for those wanting to run a PB! The course is totally flat, offering the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a personal best. Starting and finishing at the Bandstand, this course laps the Park, making it easy to follow and great for any spectators to catch you flying round the course.

facilities

Baggage

We will have a secure area where you can leave your baggage. We recommend you bring as little baggage as possible. Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, show your number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you find your baggage.

Toilets

Battersea Park itself has two sets of toilets, they are a little walk from the Start/Finish so ensure you take this into account. If you see a toilet on the way walking in, we recommend you use that.

Refreshments

There will be water provided at the 5k point of the race, and there will also be water available at the finish. We have also ordered some flapjacks and bananas for when you finish :-)

spectators

You are free to wander around the park so you can see where the competitors will be running. It is lapped so you will see them on numerous occasions.
