TCSLM & FNL : Friday Night Lights 5K
TCSLM & FNL is an evening 5K held in Battersea Park as part of London Marathon weekend. The event is a collaboration between the TCS London Marathon and Friday Night Lights and had its first edition in 2026. An edition is scheduled for 23 April 2027.
The event combines running with live entertainment. Programming for the marathon-weekend edition includes pumping music, illuminated elements and big-screen entertainment. Friday Night Lights participants and performers led runners through the course and used speakers carried on their backs, confetti and live singing to create a lively atmosphere.
The event is presented as a short, social run that precedes the main marathon events on the weekend. It includes an Event Village on site and is explicitly described as a marathon-weekend warm-up rather than a standalone race series. The presentation highlights a communal atmosphere and shared experience among participants and spectators.
Practical details such as entry, logistics and frequently asked questions are provided by the organiser through the event information resources. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
