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?

Run Speed

All runners (usually about 15) on the tour run at the same pace behind the tour guide. The guide will run at the pace of the slowest runner - we don't leave anyone behind. But it is difficult to accommodate your pace if it is wildly slower than the pace you and the rest of the runners on your tour have signed up for.

But if you usually run faster than the pace you've signed up for, please be prepared to run at the pace of the tour to make the rest of the runners feel comfortable.

Join this tour if you usually run 10k in 10-12 minute miles
