Battersea Park Running Festival
The Battersea Park Running Festival is a multi-distance running event held in Battersea Park, London. Races start and finish on the athletics track at the Millennium Arena and pass under the RunThrough finish gantry. The course uses flat, tree-lined loops with distance flags marking each kilometre.
Included with entry are a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies, and a bag drop. Water stations with water and gels are provided on every lap and a bottle of water is available at the finish. Marshals are positioned around the course and signage and arrows indicate where different distances diverge and rejoin.
Distances offered:
- Marathon - 11 laps
- Half Marathon - 5 laps
- Junior race
Accessibility details note that buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome. Dogs are not permitted inside the Millennium Arena, though spectators with dogs may remain elsewhere in the park. The village area includes toilets and an informal bag-drop marquee where baggage tags attach to race numbers.
The event location is Carriage Drive East, London SW11 4NJ. Paid car parking is limited; the event is accessible by the underground and train network with nearby stations including Battersea Power Station, Queenstown Road and Clapham Junction.
