Other Information

Baggage: We will have a secure area where you can leave your baggage. We recommend you bring as little as possible. Your baggage tag is attached to your race number, you simply tear it off and attach to your bag. To collect, show your number to the baggage tent staff and they will help you.

Toilets: Hyde Park has two sets of toilets, one near to the bandstand which is virtually on the course and near the start/finish, and another next to The Old Police House. We recommend arriving early if you plan to use the toilets.

Refreshments: There will be water provided on each lap of the race, as well as at the finish alongside bananas and of course flapjacks!

During the race: We will have marshals all around the course as well as KM signs and arrows. Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public using the park. The course is 2 laps for the 5k and 4 laps for the 10k.

Results: Results will be available on www.runthrough.co.uk after the race.

Pictures: We will have a photographer taking a few snaps of the race and they will be on Facebook after the race so be sure to check it out and see if you can spot yourself.

Things to note! There WILL be pedestrians, Hyde Park is London's busiest outdoor area so you will encounter pedestrians/dogs – please be aware. We have marshals around the course and signs but you have to pay very close attention to where you are going. We recommend you do not use earphones and you pay close attention to everything around you.

Il s'agit d'un très bon parcours plat du Hyde Park. La course était bien organisée et coordonnée. La médaille était belle. J'étais ravi et je recommende d'autres gens de participer.

The race was well organized. It's 4 loops of mostly flat road. There were pacers for both the 10K and 5K. A water station. You pick up your bib on the morning. And there's a bag check. The park is beautiful of course. Fun time. Logistics are easy.

Had a great time! The sun shone, the surroundings magical. Met some lovely Brits prior to the race start. This was my first international 5km race and it met all of my expectations.

I took part in the 10k around Hyde park with 2 other friends as part of a mental health and wellness journey, and I’m so glad that I did! The race was extremely well organised and the run was on a beautiful course (4 x 2.5km laps), I hit a PB and it was purely due to the atmosphere and cheering on from the volunteers on the day. Thank you everyone!! We’ll be back for the next one!

Enjoyable Well Organised Event. Ran the Hyde Park 10k yesterday. Very well organised and appreciative of the 20ps for the toilets and support around the course. Looking forward to the next race in preparation for the marathon in April.

Not the best run though event. I have done lots of races with run through and I generally love them but this one was not the greatest. Not the best route and it felt a bit subdued

A well organised race. It was very calm, organised and such fun. The route (5k - 2 laps) was relatively easy with a good stretch of downhill. The Marshalls were enthusiastic and encouraging. The medal we get was great quality. All in all, a great first 5k!

Well organised fun race. Communication was good and easy to locate the start. Quick and easy to get number and bag storage available. Well marshalled course which was 4 laps round a segment of Hyde park for 10k which I enjoyed. Medal, energy drink and kind bar at the end was a nice touch along with our time. Would do again and try other locations :)

Great event. Well organized and friendly staff. I had a hiccup with my entry and the team were super helpful and responsive. The day of the event was fun and ran smoothly (excuse the pun!). Loved it and would be more likely to choose another race run by runthrough over another organizer.
