Sri Chinmoy 5K Races in Battersea Park
The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team stages a small summer series of evening races in Battersea Park, London. In 2026 the series comprises four Tuesday evening events: Dashing Deer 5K (23 June), Battersea Relays (21 July), Hasty Hare 5K (15 September) and Kangaroo Hop 5K (29 September).
Courses are looped within the park, described as flat and traffic free, with the 5K finish and Race HQ on East Carriage Drive near the athletics track and Pear Tree Cafe. The Relay HQ is near Rosery Gate. Race HQ opens an hour before the race and runners are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes prior.
Registration must be completed online; entries close three days before each race or when a race is full. Bag drop is available at Race HQ and a bag tag is mailed with the race number. A course-side water station is provided; runners are advised to bring their own water for after the race. There are toilets about 400 m from Registration and showers at the Millennium Arena for an approximate fee.
All races carry UK Athletics permits and course accuracy certification, and results are recognised by Power of 10. Course maps and records are published for the 5K, 10K, relay and 2 mile layouts, and a separate 24 hour track race is held at the Millennium Track.
