Upon arrival, please introduce yourself to the reception as a member of the London Frontrunners and kindly wait to be given access to the dry side changing rooms (use the wet side if busy). These can be found by going past the barriers, up the stairs, along the walkway above the pools, then through a lobby and up a second staircase. Please share lockers if you can to avoid other users running out. Arrive from 8.30am in plenty of time to get ready for a 9.00am departure.
Please bring a padlock for the lockers in the changing rooms.
Route: The route changes week on week, but the distance is always between 10 and 14 miles. For weekly distances please view the Long Run Plan. This is a paced run where everyone runs in groups, at three distinct paces – 5:00 mins/km (8 min mile), 5:15 mins/km (8.30 min mile) and 5:30 mins/km (9 min mile).
We are also introducing the Leisurely Long Run as a bridge between the Hyde Park run and the Long Run. This will run a maximum of around 10 miles at a slower (6:00 mins/km / 9:30 min mile) pace. This will leave at the same time / place as the Long Run.
Note: To assist those training for marathons or who just want to do extra distance, there will be opportunities to run some additional mileage before the main start. Please e-mail (details below) for further information.
We will join up with the Hyde Park runners for the post run social (details below).
Post Run Social: Brunch buffet at the Thistle Hotel, Bryanston Street, Marylebone, W1H 7EH. Allow 20 minutes to go by bus routes 2 or 36 from Neathouse Place stop K or routes 13 or 148 from Grosvenor Gardens stop Q.
If you have any special requirements please let us know by emailing [email protected] and we would be happy to advise.
