Join us for King’s College London’s biggest running event—a 5K run through the scenic St. James’s Park!

This year, we’re introducing pace groups to suit every runner’s ability. Whether you’re chasing a PB or enjoying a social jog, there’s a group for you!

Pace Groups:

Pace 1: 4:30 min/km (Fast Pace) – This is for experienced runners who are comfortable maintaining a strong, steady effort. If you regularly run 5Ks in under 23 minutes, this is your pace!

Pace 2: 5:30 min/km (Moderate Pace) – A great choice for those who run regularly and want a solid challenge without going all out. This pace is roughly a 27-28 minute 5K.

Pace 3: 6:30 min/km (Comfortable Pace) – Ideal for those who enjoy running but prefer a more relaxed effort. If you run a 5K in around 32-34 minutes, this is a good fit.

Pace 4: 7:30 min/km (Easy Pace) – A social running pace where you can still hold a conversation. Perfect if you’re building up your running or just want a steady jog.

Social Pace: (Walk, Jog, Skip!) – No pressure, no rush—just movement at your own speed! Whether you want to power walk, jog, or mix it up, this is the most relaxed group.

Led by the King’s Runners crew in partnership with Adidas Runners, our guides and pacers will ensure a smooth experience.

Social Pace: Run, skip, or walk!
