About Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 10k

The London Winter Run is a unique central London 10K that combines a fast, closed-road course with a standout themed atmosphere, making it one of the most distinctive early-season races in the UK calendar.

Starting in the heart of the capital, the route takes in iconic landmarks including Trafalgar Square, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Thames Embankment, offering a rare opportunity to run traffic-free through central London. The course is relatively flat and well-supported, giving it strong PB potential despite typically cool winter conditions.

What sets this race apart is its immersive experience. Snow zones, winter-themed entertainment and on-course activations create a high-energy environment that appeals to both first-time runners and those looking for a fun, well-organised 10K to start the year.

The London Winter Run regularly sells out well in advance, reflecting its popularity and limited entry capacity. It is particularly appealing for beginners due to its accessible distance, supportive crowds and high-quality event delivery.
