Google Christmas Lights 5k Running Tour 2021

We're so excited to be jingling with Google for a fabulous Christmas lights running tour!

Every year the streets of London are transformed by a series of world-renowned light displays and twinkling trees. On a brand new route for this year, your private Christmas-loving guide will lead you through the 2021 highlights on a beautiful 5k run.

There'll be plenty of time for pho-ho-hotos and a little festive history along the way. And of course, we'll be playing festive tunes as we go-ho-ho!

Pace: This is not a race. Nobody is aiming for a PB as we jingle through the Christmas lights. We run at a pace that everyone is comfortable with - and no one gets left behind. 

What to wear: For environmental reasons, we’re not providing santa hats this year. But we would LOVE you to wear your own long-lasting festive hat and as much Christmas fancy dress as you wish for the tour. We’ll be giving a prize for the best-dressed tour of the season! There’s no such thing as ‘too festive’.
