“The route consists of almost two complete anti-clockwise laps. It starts on the road around Finsbury Park near the cafe just past the black gates. The route follows the road around the park before taking the path on the left (heading uphill) just opposite the bridge over the canal and just after the black gates on the road. At the top of the hill the route meets the road but veers straight around the boating lake, past the Athletics track, before heading through the gardens past McKenzie Pavilion and the playground and back to the start. On the second lap after rounding the lake and going through the gardens, the finish is on a first track next to McKenzie Pavilion.”

“The course is 5000m (5K) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is in Hyde Park, and entirely on tarmac paths (about from a short muddy section, and the finish on grass), although some sections of the course do accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or temporary signs in place.
The course consists of two and a half laps of Hyde Park – from the start (at the southern tip of the park near the statue with wellies), the course crosses directly across the centre of the park, to the northern most tip before completing two and a half laps around the perimeter and finishing near the eastern most point.”

Accurate 5km course – organised is almost two complete laps.
There’s one “hill” which is after going past the finish line on lap 1, and are a few other undulations as the route goes on 3 levels of paths along seafront and narrows in places. At the far end of the course there is a sharp bend on to a downhill.
On this course, please watch out for pedestrians and dogs.
