Run the Wharf

This September we are delighted to be working in partnership with Friday Night Lights and London Marathon Events to host a 5k race with a difference!

Get ready to log off and line up on Thursday 4 September for Run the Wharf, where you can choose to take on the challenge of a fast-paced 5km race or opt for a more leisurely party run.

Both running events will take place in the heart of Canary Wharf, starting in the leafy Canada Square Park before setting off on a 2.5k loop which take you up to Cabot Square down to Harbord Square Gardens and along the waterways of Wood Wharf. 

Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just want to take in the party atmosphere with friends, this unique city run delivers energy, atmosphere, and unbeatable views.

Afterwards, all participants will be invited to the post-run social where you can expect an array of street food vendors, pop up bars, live music and more. This outdoor party is the perfect way to end your evening and soak up the atmosphere with your fellow runners.

Tickets cost £40 and are available to purchase here . Your ticket will get you

• Entry to the race, with professional chip-timed results on closed roads 
• Entry to the event village and social in Canada Square Park between 5-11pm featuring, food, music and pop ups
