Christmas Lights 5k Tours - Gentle Jingle

From Carnaby Street, New Bond Street and Regent Street to the Southbank, Somerset House and beyond, jingle through all the main displays and trees of Mayfair and the West End.

This is a running tour, not a race. We run at the pace of the gentlest runner among us and we don't leave anyone behind. That said, please make sure that you're able to run 5k at the pace advertised (with breathers) for the enjoyment of the other runners.
