Chase The Moon QE Olympic Park Halloween 5k & 10k October 2026

Dive into the spirit of London’s Olympic legacy with the evening runs through Olympic Park. Inspired by the 2012 Games, these races welcome runners from all backgrounds to explore one of Britain's most iconic venues under starlit skies.
Starting beneath illuminated towers and past grand stadiums, this course offers an atmospheric journey where every bend in the path reveals a fresh view tied to London’s sporting history. As you progress through your chosen distance – whether it be 5k or 10k – imagine yourself part of those legendary moments that defined summer sports decades ago.
Upon crossing the finish line, participants receive exclusive themed medals commemorating both their personal accomplishment and the enduring legacy of Olympic spirit in modern running culture. This unique award is more than a souvenir; it symbolizes your connection to athletic excellence and heritage while acknowledging individual effort and growth on this historic route.
In partnership with Be More You – a leading mental health advocacy group within the runner community – RunThrough encourages participants to participate in an essential ‘mindful moment’ prior to launching into their race. This brief pause before activity fosters introspection, setting intentions for oneself that blend physical challenge with personal development. It’s more than just running; it's about embracing a holistic approach towards health and wellness.
Join the thousands expected at this year’s event as we celebrate the convergence of athletic pursuit and mental resilience in one of London’s most historic locations under twilight skies. Whether you run to honor past achievements or step out for your own journey, expect an evening filled with reflection, community support, and awe-inspiring vistas that pay tribute to a landmark moment from recent history.
As dawn approaches on Olympic Park, runners transition seamlessly between night's quiet reflections and the bustling energy of shared goals. This event is not just about covering ground; it’s about connecting deeply within yourself while surrounded by like-minded individuals celebrating physical effort alongside mental strength.
