The Big Startup 5K by Jumpstart
The Big Startup 5K is an evening team run organised by Jumpstart in Battersea Park, London on 12th August 2026. The event is aimed at people who work in or around the startup ecosystem, including founders, employees, investors and curious spectators. The organiser expects more than 2000 participants and over 400 UK startups and venture capital firms to take part.
The event format is noncompetitive. Participants may run or walk and spectators are welcome to attend and cheer. Teams can register together with no team limit, and teams are listed under their company name. A small bag drop will be available but is expected to be busy, so participants are advised to travel light if possible.
Event features include music with a live DJ and food and drink options on site. Early bird and bulk ticket discounts are offered for group bookings. Race results will be published on the event website after the run.
Jumpstart presents the event alongside its hiring work. Jumpstart connects startups with pre-vetted junior candidates and uses events like this to bring people from the startup community together for networking and informal conversations.
