The Cancer Research UK London Winter Run is a ten kilometer challenge through the heart of the capital.
It is the UK’s largest 10k with 25,000 taking part annually.
You will pass live music performances, encounter larger-than-life winter characters, and see world famous landmarks. It’s an unforgettable journey for runners of all abilities. Many choose to run only part of the route, walking at other points. Since its first edition in 2015 it has proved hugely popular, receiving critical acclaim, and even sprouting a special summer edition in 2021.
The event is delivered in partnership with Cancer Research UK, and has already seen over 100,000 people take part and over £6.6 million raised for life-saving cancer research.
Get ready to experience London like you never have before! The 2026 route will be packed full of entertainment. Featuring everything from beloved returning favourites to exciting new additions.
As you navigate the closed road 10km route, you’ll pass some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including St. Paul’s Cathedral and Trafalgar Square. Along the way, expect snowy surprises, live music and plenty of encouragement to get you to the finish line. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a legendary yeti or two.
