← RunThrough Crystal Palace 5k, 10k & Half Marathon - January
This is the second time I’ve completed this race in the hilly Crystal Palace Park. It starts at the top of the park, so the first part is broadly down hill, returning back up hill to the finish. One lap is 5k, so two for the 10k.
As with all runthrough events it is good value and well organised. I arrived around 45 minutes before the start, collected my race number and timing chip and dropped my bag at the bag drop. All very efficient.
Itwas a chilly morning so the warm up was appreciated. Started on time and organised by predictedfinish time. Marshals and signs show you where to go. Some of the paths were muddy and slippery, but hazard signs and marshals pointed these out.
One water station at the 5k point.
Great medal, water and flapjack at the end.
