Jack the Ripper 10k Running Tour

Sat 7th March 2026 - Tue 10th March 2026

A group of people stand together at night in an urban area with graffiti-covered walls. The background features a tall brick chimney with "TRUMAN" written on it. The group is casually dressed, suggesting they might be out for a walk or run. A group of people jogging on a dimly lit street at night. The street is flanked by modern buildings with illuminated storefronts and older, ornate brick buildings. Some pedestrians are also visible in the background. One person is wearing bright pink shoes. A group of people in athletic attire, including leggings and caps, stand outside a building at night, engaging in a conversation. One person faces away from the camera, while others are visible from the front and sides. Some people are wearing layers to keep warm. A group of people, some dressed in Halloween-themed costumes, stand together smiling in front of a blue police box on a nighttime city street. The background includes brightly lit storefronts, including a Pret A Manger restaurant.

Organiser's Description

On this 10k running tour, as we jog through the back-alleys of East London, Secret London Runs will transport you back to Victorian London at the time of the Whitechapel Murders.

Our tour begins by running you through the tragic events of 1888 and the surrounding social history: the police, the press and the conditions for East Londoners. We'll get to know the difficult lives of the victims of Jack the Ripper, before we explore a number of theories of that age-old question - Who Was Jack the Ripper?

Well paced, adapted "on the run" to suit the group and their interests - telling the Ripper story mixed in with general interest London history. Ben did an excellent job as the run leader.
