What it is

Our biggest turnout of the week and the easiest one to walk into cold. Flat, lit the whole way, and split into groups that genuinely wait at the top. If you have never run with a club before, this is the night to try it — turn up ten minutes early and someone will find you.

The details

  • Flat and fully lit — safe in the dark months
  • 5K and 8K loops that finish together
  • Dedicated newcomer group every single week
  • Free bag drop on the bridge steps

Where to go
