The course
3.1 mi, 0 m of climb.
A free, volunteer-run 5K every Saturday at 9am in Battersea Park, on the south bank of the Thames between Albert and Chelsea bridges. The course is flat: two anti-clockwise laps of the park's south loop, all on tarmac paths that can gather mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Runners meet at the finish, on the gravel where Carriage Drive West meets Central Avenue, and start on Central Avenue just west of the bandstand. The paths are shared with other park users, so expect to weave a little. Toilets are on Carriage Drive South and by the fountains (open from 8am); parking is very limited, and Battersea Park and Battersea Power Station stations are each about a 20-minute walk. Route map and elevation profile below.
A flat course: 3 m between the lowest and highest point.
