Organiser's Description

Join a dark 10k running tour about the tragic murders in Whitechapel in 1888. 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. You'll visit the crime scenes and places where key evidence was collected, learn about the police investigation, the role of the press and then (literally) run through an array of suspects: Who was Jack the Ripper?

Each tour has a guide pace to keep you in your comfort zone. This tour is 'Steady' for those who usually run 10k in 65-75 minutes. Of course, the tour will take much longer than that as we stop for history, evidence and theories along the route.
