Event overview
Going Round in Circles is a challenge to run between every station on the London Circle Line. The event takes place on Sunday 22 March 2026 in central London (W2 1LA). The route covers all 27 Circle Line stations. Entrants may take part individually or as a team of two. The event starts and finishes at Gail’s Bakery next to Paddington Station, where runners collect their race number and a tracker.
Course and logistics
The route is run either clockwise or anticlockwise, as chosen on the day. The overall running distance is around 16 miles; distances between individual stations range from 0.2 miles to 1.2 miles. The course is not marked and requires navigation. Organisers provide a GPX file, a sheet with what3words locations for each station, and a tracker. Runners must take a selfie at each station as proof of visit. There are no checkpoints and road crossings are not marshalled. Finishers receive a medal and may get refreshments at the bakery.
Entry, kit and tracking
Entry fees listed are Single £22.00 and Team of two £32.00; these include a tracker. The event uses Geo Tracks GPS trackers that upload position regularly and are accurate to about 5 metres. The cut-off time is four hours. Age limits apply: individual competitors must be over 17, or over 15 when competing as part of a team of two. Mandatory kit includes a fully charged mobile phone, a power bank, at least one litre of water capacity, a waterproof jacket, and a long-sleeved base layer or fleece. Baggage space is limited and left at the participant’s own risk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
