Friday blast!
Brilliant event for serious runners who want a good time. Exemplary organisation by the Serpentine team.

There should be more races like this!
Excellent professional level organisation for a fraction of the cost, lovely friendly atmosphere, in superb surroundings.
Jeremy Leigh
A lovely event
All very good. I've been alone both times and no one spoke to me. On the last turn right the stewards were talking to the crowd and I had to shout WGERE DO I GO? Overall, very good. Something for finishing would be a bonus
Dave Thomas
Great race
Brilliant 5k course.
Racing at 12.30 on a Friday was a new experience & very enjoyable.
High standard of runners.
Simon Coombes
Superb as ever
It’s iconic, best 5k in London
Filipe Cardoso
Lovely 5km race in the heart of London
No thrills, low cost running event, organised by volunteers. Set in the amazing Hyde Park, fast course and ideal for a 5km PB attempt. Probably not suitable for absolute beginners due to the cut-off time of 35 minutes.
Beverley Thomas

Great monthly race
The marshals are great. Have been coming a few months and it’s lovely seeing the same people each month. It is so cheap too.

Love this race. Wish I could do it every month
Jane Davies
Iconic event, brilliant organization!
Fantastic setting in Hyde Park, with some gentle hills for a little interest! A stone's throw from Paddington station so very accessible for anyone coming to London by train from the west.
