What have you got me into? That was my questions to a friend who said to me come and run the race tonight! 

Freezing cold, pouring rain and soaked through. But you know what? I actually really enjoyed it and it is a really nice easy midweek race held in the Olympic Park. Runthrough offer this as part of a series and i signed up - although why they offer no affliated club reduced fees I'm not sure.

It's a fairly flat course with the choice of 5k (2 laps) or 10k (4 laps) with two small inclines on each lap. 

If you want a midweek run with a great medal then go for it. i have signed up for the next one also. Hopefully see you in March!

Run through events are well organised and very well delivered. This race was no exception. Very easy registration and good facilities at the Olympic Park. A secure bag area is reassuring as this run is on an evening and that mean going straight from work.

on the day the weather wasn’t great. However there were plenty of Marshall helping cheers the runners around. Not many spectators, unsurprisingly.

The route around the park is fun too.

Medals are good as is the flapjack - and always some other goodies available at the finish.

Free race photos are another added bonus. Excellent value for money.
