Marathon Training Long Run (Multiple Distances)

With several marathons and half-marathons coming up, we are hosting a distance training long run this month. This is a popular event which we have run for several years now. Whilst the main run will start at Broxbourne and finish in Hackney Wick, taking in the Lea Valley regional park, there will be additional pick-up points at Enfield Lock and Walthamstow Wetlands for those wishing to run shorter distances.

We will all run together, aiming for a pace of around 5:30mins/km, but adjusting to suit the group. Please familiarise yourself with the route map which can be found here.

There is no bag drop, please bring a small backpack with drinks, snacks and some warm/dry clothes for the end of the run.
