London hosts some of the UK's most popular 5K running events year-round. Whether you're a first-time runner looking for a parkrun-style timed event or an experienced racer chasing a personal best, the capital offers flat riverside routes, scenic park circuits, and buzzing city-centre courses. Many London 5Ks support charities and welcome runners of all abilities.
Hyde Park, Battersea Park, Victoria Park, and the Thames Path are among the most popular settings for 5K events in London. Look out for races along the Southbank and through the Royal Parks for iconic backdrops.
Most 5K events in London offer chip timing, finisher medals, and well-marked courses. Entry fees typically range from free (parkrun) to £15–£30 for organised races. Many events fill up fast, so booking early is recommended.
Our route follows the park’s smooth pathways alongside legendary monuments, statues and memorials - and past the famous Serpentine Lake. Take in the views across the lake as you embrace the open air and admire the rose gardens, meadows and wildfowl.
