The races

Open to all non members - please note Serpentine members must have permission from the race director before entering - nyd10k@serpentine.org.uk

We will be using the same route as last year's races on an accurately measured, traffic free course entirely within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, in association with the Royal Parks. The 10k is held under UK Athletics rules.

There will be a race momento for all 10k finishers and medals for the 3k fun run finishers. Vouchers for the first three men and women in the 10K race along with prizes for age categories and teams.

Both races start on Main Street and finish near the new Boathouse on the north bank of the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park, west of the Winter Wonderland site (see Course Map for the 10k).

The 10k race starts at 11.00am and the 3k fun run starts at 12.00 noon. There are no changing facilities, so please arrive ready to run. A bag deposit facility is available near the finish line but note that any bags are left at the owner's risk.

There's a Facebook page for the race where runners can post comments and pictures.
