London Races in Battersea Park

In 2026 we are offering four evening races in Battersea Park.

ENABLE, the group that oversee events in Battersea Park, have limited the amount of races we can offer in the Spring/Summer to two races. They say this directive is being applied to all community events, although it seems that it doesn't apply to Coorporate events and Park Run. We used to offer 18 races per year, but now can only offer 4. We are very sad about this, and apologise to the large community of runners we have been serving for over 40 years.

1. Dashing Deer 5K, 7pm, Tuesday 23rd June

2. Battersea Relays, 7pm, Tuesday 21st July

3. Hasty Hare 5K, 6:30pm, Tuesday 15th September

4. Kangaroo Hop 5K, 6:30pm, Tuesday 29th September

To enter, please click on races above.

We look forward to seeing you at our races. All registration is online. Online registration will close 3 days before the race, or when the race is full, to allow for race numbers to be mailed out.

Bag drop will be available at Race HQ. A bag tag will be sent out to you with your race number. 

A water station will be available but we advise you to please bring your own water.

The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team has been organising races in London since 1981. As a family of running enthusiasts we welcome competitive club runners, seasoned trailblazers, fitness lovers and novices. At all of our races you will experience a warm welcome, a supportive team of dedicated volunteers, efficient and professional race management and flat runner-friendly courses.

Inspiration: Our races focus on giving each runner a good experience: an opportunity to transcend their limits and achieve their personal goals. Our inspiration is Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007), the founder of our Marathon Team, who was not only an avid athlete and pioneer in the world of running and ultra-running races, but a teacher of meditation. He recognised the sport of running as a powerful way to develop concentration, confidence, determination, peace of mind and happiness.  

Refund Policy: We are unable to refund cancelled entries but runners are welcome to postpose their entry to a future Sri Chinmoy race of their choice as long as we are notified 10 days before race day. Contact us via email races@runandbecome.com
