Organiser's description

Travel back to Whitechapel 1888 and experience the 'Autumn of Terror' on this 10km running tour.

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.
