About
A Saturday 22km around a plethora of varied North-East London green spaces. Set to 10am for travel options, but it could be 9 or 9.30am if people prefer to have more Saturday brunch time??
Meeting at Finsbury Park station, we'll travel along and through various Hackney parks, including Finsbury Park, the New River and reservoirs, Clissold Park and Abney Cemetery. Then along to Millfields Park and along the River Lea adjacent to Hackney Marshes, out of Hackney Wick into Victoria Park, down Regent's Canal to London Fields, back along streets towards Clissold in N4.
The benefit of this on a Saturday is that we can finish by a coffee shop and revel in the vibey delights of this area. Not necessarily trail running, but plenty of green spaces, and at this time in May there is so much in bloom and leaf. The aim is to show you various green spaces with trail-like paths, and how they link up into a a casual half marathon+.
As this is a populated route it does mean there are many transport options should you want to extend or reduce. If you're unsure on the area, send a message for advice.
Distance: about 22km - but you can easily jump off or extend. The point of this is a social chatty run!
Meet: Outside Finsbury Park Station (concourse not City North Place). We finish at Clissold Park, which is a 15 minute walk back to Finsbury Park, Manor House or Canonbury, plus many bus routes in the area (eg 341, 141, 106, 376, 73).
Pace: Usually 7:30mins/km+, but there’s no rush. We keep it chatty.
Gear: This route is pretty much all tarmac. We can take the trails around parts of parks but otherwise it's pavement, tarmac and towpath. However there is greenery and water! No bag drop. Toilets in Clissold Park, Abney Park, Hackney Downs, Victoria Park, London Fields. Bring water and snacks!
Please cancel if you can no longer make it, or at the very least DM on Instagram @ne_london_mrp / @01010011steele
