About Running in London on Verus
London has one of the broader calendars Verus covers: 39 races spanning 6 distances, from 14 half marathons, 13 10Ks, 5 5Ks, 4 ultra marathons, 2 races at other distances and 1 marathon. A county with that range is one you can train a whole year in without leaving.
Racing here runs more or less year round — there is something on in 9 months of the twelve, with September the busiest. That makes London unusually easy to build a season around, because you are rarely more than a few weeks from a start line.
Terrain varies more than a single figure for London suggests. Of the 4 races here that publish an elevation figure, The Big Half is the flattest at 218ft of climb and London 2 Brighton Challenge the hilliest at 4,921ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.
Alongside the races, London has 65 parkruns — free, weekly, and the way a lot of people here got started.
