The Big Startup 5K - Jumpstart
The Big Startup 5K, organised by Jumpstart, is scheduled for 12 August 2026 in Battersea Park, London. The event is described as a 5 kilometre run that will bring together more than 2,000 runners and over 400 UK startups and venture capital organisations.
Participation is open to startup founders, people working at startups or tech companies, investors, and members of the public who want to spectate. The format is non-competitive; people may run or walk. Team registration is available with no team size limit and the company name is used as the team identifier.
On-site features include a live DJ, food and drink offerings, and goody bags. A small bag drop will be provided, though it is expected to be busy. The event notes that it will proceed in rainy conditions and that race results will be published on the race website after the event.
The organiser references partnerships with several venture capital firms and startup networks and offers early bird and bulk ticket options for teams. The event is presented as an opportunity for networking within the startup ecosystem and for teams to use the evening as a shared social activity.
