Four women in colorful activewear pose humorously in front of a mural depicting a man holding a melting clock, reminiscent of Salvador Dalí's style. They mimic pulling the clock, blending with the playful, surreal theme.

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.

Course Details

The tour starts at Aldgate East Station, in Whitechapel, and ends at Haggerston Station. There's an option to duck out at Shoreditch High Street if you're more comfortable running 5k.
