Organiser's Description

On this 10k running tour, as we jog through the back-alleys of East London, you'll be transported 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 around that age-old question - Who Was Jack the Ripper?
