Last Friday of the Month 5k
The Last Friday of the Month 5k is a monthly 5 kilometre race held on a two-lap course in Hyde Park. The start and finish are at the Boat House on the northern side of the Serpentine lake. The event is organised by volunteers from Serpentine Running and Triathlon Club.
Entry is by online registration only; entries cannot be taken on the day. Entry fees are £7.00 for members of any athletics or running club registered with England Athletics and £9.00 if unaffiliated. The Club’s policy is not to refund fees except in exceptional circumstances at the Committee’s discretion.
The race is held under UK Athletics rules and uses England Athletics Licence number 29177 and Certificate of Course Accuracy number 16/201. The minimum age is 11 years. There is a 35 minute cut-off time after which the course will not be marshalled and results will not be recorded. For safety, participants should not run while wearing headphones or other hearing impediments so they can hear marshal instructions.
There are no changing or shower facilities. Public toilets are available near the Bandstand, about 500 m from the start, and require a 20p payment by card. Personal belongings may be left close to the start at the owner’s risk; participants should supply their own labelled waterproof bag. Refreshments are available from nearby kiosks and the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen. Results are published on the Serpentine website and a league championship is based on age graded results with the best six performances eligible for the trophy.
