The Springbank Road Races

The Springbank Road Races have a long history in London, Ontario, spanning many years. They are part of the SoleScience London Race Series. The event offers several race distances: a half marathon, a 5 km run and walk, a 2.1 km run, and a Kiddy Trot of approximately 250 meters for children.

The Course

The races are held primarily in Springbank Park, a recognized running location. The course follows the paved pathway system along the Thames River. The half marathon features a small loop of the park followed by an out-and-back loop on the path system. The 5 km is an out-and-back loop within the park. The 2.1 km run follows the final 2.1 km of the half marathon course. Both the 5 km and half marathon courses are officially measured and certified.
