The Caffeine Run LondonWalk returns to Springbank Gardens Guy Lombardo Pavilion on Saturday, 30th of August in the heart of London, Ontario, Canada. This event offers runners a choice: tackle the 10K, the 5K, or even the Half Marathon, with an option for those who prefer a slower pace by walking the shorter, 1.5-mile loop. Participants will enjoy the unique opportunity to be caffeinated before they hit the trails. On race morning, Springbank Gardens is bustling with excitement. The Guy Lombardo Pavilion serves as both starting and finishing point, surrounded by lush green spaces perfect for a pre-race warm-up or post-race relaxation. Runners can anticipate firm yet slightly soft terrain that may require careful footing. The UV index of 7.0 indicates high sun exposure; sunscreen is highly recommended.

This event is more than just a race—it's an annual celebration that brings together runners from all walks of life to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Springbank Gardens while raising funds for important causes. The course winds through the gardens, offering scenic views and natural beauty throughout its journey. The 10K route features several notable landmarks, including the iconic Guy Lombardo Pavilion, which marks both the start and finish line. Participants can also expect a mix of paved paths and slightly uneven surfaces that provide an authentic running experience. At the starting point, runners will receive bibs for chip timing and are encouraged to arrive early to pre-order their coffee or enjoy some baked goods before they begin. The race is set to be a mass start event with participants lined up in waves based on their chosen distances. Finishers can look forward to hot chocolate at the finish line along with live music that will keep the atmosphere lively all morning.
