Organiser's description

--- This event has been cancelled due to ongoing concerns regarding Coronavirus. The race organiser will be in touch with you in due course if you have made a booking for this event. ---

Travel back to Whitechapel 1888 and experience the 'Autumn of Terror' on this 10km running tour. As you run through the back alleys of London's East End, your guide will take you through the stomping ground of London's most notorious killer. We'll run to each murder location in order, so you'll really feel like you're running in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper.

As we unravel the tragic events, you'll also visit places that have survived the revival of the area to learn more about the lives of 19th century East Enders, especially the victims. And we'll have just enough time to explore a number of theories for that age-old question: Who was Jack the Ripper?
