How To Get There
Tube - The start is roughly 5 minutes walk from either Clapham Common tube or Clapham South tube; we will be 100m East of the bandstand. Follow the running crowds and look for the signs.
Train - The Common is around 1 mile from Clapham Junction, so if you want to get the overground, you can either take a stroll (warm up?) or take the 35, 37 or 345 bus.
By Foot/Bike - The Common is easily accessible by both foot and cycle. Cycle parking is available.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, run, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. You can use TFL to help plan your journey.
Parking
There is no car park on site. If you park on the roads around the Common, check the pay machines and watch out for permit areas.
Course Details
We have marshals around the course and signs, but this is not a road race, you must pay very close attention to where you are going.
There WILL be pedestrians, please be aware of people, dogs & cyclists. We do not recommend you use earphones and you need to pay close attention to everything around you. The nature of a park/common is that there are people doing whatever they so please, we can have no control over stray dogs or people running in the opposite direction etc so please be aware.
