Millennium Arena athletics track, Battersea Park
Set in one of London’s most picturesque green spaces, the Battersea Park Running Festival October 2026 delivers a fast, flat and friendly day of racing on Saturday 24 October. Runners start and finish on the Millennium Arena athletics track, crossing under the iconic RunThrough gantry for a memorable finish-line moment. The lapped route on tree-lined park paths is clearly marked with kilometre flags and supported by enthusiastic marshals, making it straightforward to follow and ideal for pacing. Chip timing and free race photos are included, and every finisher receives a unique themed medal.
The programme features a full Marathon of multiple park laps and a Half Marathon of fewer laps, with a fun, family-friendly junior race held on the track. The event window runs from 09:00 to 15:00, with the Marathon scheduled from 09:00, the Half Marathon from 10:00, and juniors from 10:40. Battersea Park’s smooth paths and minimal elevation offer strong personal-best potential while the event village adds to the atmosphere with food and drink options and partner goodies at the finish. Expect a welcoming experience that blends efficient organisation with a lively race-day vibe in a central London setting.
