Sri Chinmoy 5K Races in Battersea Park
The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is organising a 5K race in Battersea Park on 23 June 2026 as part of a series of three 5K events. The organiser has run races in London since 1981 and presents this event as one of three races that year, with complementary events named Dashing Deer 5K, Hasty Hare 5K and Kangaroo Hop 5K.
The course is two laps on traffic-free avenues inside Battersea Park. It is UK Athletics certified for accuracy and is manually timed to UKA standards. The Race HQ is on Carriage Drive East between the Boating Lake and the Millennium Arena running track, about 30 metres from Pear Tree Cafe. The start line is approximately 300 metres from the Race HQ.
All runners must register online. Race numbers will be posted to entrants the week before the race. Registration closes three days before the race or when the race is full. A baggage drop is provided at Race HQ; valuables are left at the entrant's own risk. A baggage tag is sent with the race number and all items should fit in one bag.
General details include a minimum age of 12 years, an entry fee of £10, public toilets in the park, free parking inside Rosary Gate or Chelsea Gate car parks after 5pm, and showers and changing rooms at the Millennium Arena for £3. Results record Male and Female categories for ranking while also capturing Non-Binary times in the overall results to comply with international athletics rules.
