Going Round in Circles - The London Circle Line Challenge
The Going Round In Circles event is a unique running challenge set in London, aiming to have participants run between every station on the Circle Line. This iconic yellow line features 27 stations, and runners will need to collect a selfie at each as proof of their visit.
Participants can choose to compete individually for a greater challenge or as a team of two. The race begins at Gails Bakery next to Paddington Station, where race numbers and trackers will be distributed. Runners can opt for either an anticlockwise or clockwise route.
In teams of two, one runner will use a travel card to navigate between meeting points while the other runs. The distance between stations varies, with the overall running distance being approximately 16 miles. While there are no official checkpoints, participants will find numerous shops along the way for refreshments. Should a participant be injured or decide to withdraw, they can use the tube to return to the start.
All finishers will receive a special Circle Line Challenge medal, and celebratory cake and coffee will be available at the finish line bakery.
