Battersea Park is one of London’s most picturesque parks and has been a favourite course for those wanting to run a PB! The course is totally flat, offering the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a personal best. Starting and finishing at the Parks Bandstand this course laps the park making it easy to follow and great for any spectators to catch you flying round the course.

Even with the soggy conditions, it was a well planned and attended event. RunThrough put on a great show and are up there with the best event organisers out there. Highly recommended.

The event was great even on a rainy morning. The path of the park is regular, wide, and flat, lovely for running. The event was very well organized and the staff were cheerful and attentive.

Well organised, friendly and professional support, up-beat atmosphere and good facilities such as toilet and bag drop-off. I really liked the pace runners. Only area for improvement was the start of the 10 km race which took a while to get organised on a narrow path next to a muddy patch of grass. Runners were getting cold and wet whilst the sizable field of runners were lining up in their respective time slot.

Great race, really nice organisation and friendly marshalls. The course is nice and flat, 4 laps for a 10k is a bit repetitive but aside from that all good! Was my first event for a few years and a great one to ease back into it.

Great race, we organised and the only downside is every time I've run this route it comes in 200-250m short. Overall - Well organised race with Marshalls at key points, bag drop & an organised start & warm up. Plenty of toilet facilities as well.

Amazing race, the organisation was on point, better that most of my previous race. I came from Paris and I will never forget my first 10k in the UK. That park is amazing, fresh air lots of space. If I had to made a suggestion it would be a wider starting line. Bravo!

Well Organised Event. A very good race, very flat and easy to pace as it is 4 identical loops. Sometimes needed to weave around slower runners due to the race being laps - however there was plenty of space and never really effected the speed at which I was able to run.

10/10. This was my first proper race and it was a great introduction - the staff were organised, kind, efficient and friendly and I honestly can't think of one thing I'd improve on. The course was nice and flat, and everything was set up well so it was easy to follow. I strongly recommend!

A perfect flat course. This was only my third 10km race, and I was delighted to manage a significant improvement on my previous times! This was hugely helped by the totally flat route. I enjoyed the 'lap style' route, as ticking off each lap made the end seem tangibly closer. The staff were friendly and helpful. The course was well marked. The medal was excellent! Highly recommended!

Well organised and nice route. Live close by so the route is familiar, but it was really well organised, marked, and stewarded. Recommended.

Great race. I chose this one to improve my PB - which I’ve done. Great organisation. I really like them because they care. From the start to the finish, everything was spot on and pictures being free is a big plus. Thank you!

Friendly, well organised run. Great flat run with lots of friendly people involved. My first time running a 4 x lap course & that was a bit boring to be honest but it was a fun event to be part of
