Chase the Sun Battersea Park 5k & 10k
Chase the Sun at Battersea Park is a multi-lap running event that uses the park's wide tarmac paths and starts and finishes at the park bandstand. The course is described as totally flat and laps the park to make the route easy to follow for runners and spectators. The organiser provides an event village and on-course team for guidance, plus food, drink and finish-line goodies from partners.
Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag drop. Water stations are positioned on every lap and a bottle of water is available at the finish. Race pack collection takes place before the event, and there is a group warm up ahead of each race. Toilets are located at the event village and a secure marquee is used for baggage with a tag system linked to race numbers.
Accessibility is noted: buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome and are asked to be mindful of other competitors. There is a 90 minute course cut-off time due to park restrictions. Transport and parking options include Battersea Park Railway Station within a ten minute walk, frequent bus services from Vauxhall, and paid parking at Battersea Park and nearby locations.
