Shoreditch Street Art Running Tour - Speedy

Sun 28th June 2020

A group of ten people in athletic wear standing in front of a wall with street art. The art depicts tall, skinny buildings on stilts and plant-like designs. The group appears to be ready for or finishing a run, and they are posing for a photo with smiles and relaxed postures.

Organiser's Description

Run through the ever-changing canvas of the East End, stopping to admire, photograph and learn about its breath-taking street art. Your guide will help you identify work from the internationally renowned artists that flock to embellish the walls of Shoreditch, and tell you more about their background and inspiration.

​What's the difference between street art and graffiti? What techniques are used? Is it legal? Why's Banksy so important? All your questions answered on this unique journey into a hidden world. The tour is 10k, but there's an option to duck out at 5km if you're more comfortable with that distance.

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.

Don't be put off by the name - join this tour if you're comfortable running 10k in 10 minute miles and under
