London - Finsbury Park 10k
This running event at Finsbury Park in London is organised by Cancer Research UK and offers timed participation on measured routes. Distances available at the event are:
- 10k
- 5k
- 3k
The 10k route is two laps of the 5k course. The course runs on pathways and mixes tarmac, hardstanding and grass surfaces. There are several inclines and declines, with a recorded maximum gradient of 4.7 percent over 49 metres. Narrow sections occur around the children’s play areas and the boating pond. In wet weather, grassy sections may become muddy, soft and slippery.
The start area is on hardstanding and the finish is on flat, firm grass on the eastern side of the park adjacent to Seven Sisters Road. The event is chip timed and issues finishers a medal.
