You may remember that my last attempt at this race didn't go very well. After a wrong turn at 2km, I found myself horribly off course with no sensible way of getting back on course, got the hump, moaned at the person in charge and went home. My moaning earned me the compensation of a … Continue reading The Race Organiser Greenwich 10k

Kew Gardens 10k

They also have a lively Facebook group, a newsletter and a free interval session on Mondays in Clapham (which I keep meaning to go to, but haven't yet). The events have a similar vibe to parkruns, in that they're full … Continue reading RunThrough Battersea Park
