Organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1981, the Battersea Park race series provides a supportive environment for runners of all levels. The 2025 lineup includes five 5K races—Speedy Steeds (10 June), Dashing Deer (17 June), Kangaroo Hop (15 July), and Hasty Hare (5 August)—along with the Battersea Relays on 29 July. Each 5K race follows a two-lap, flat course on the park’s traffic-free avenues, starting at 7:00 PM near the Millennium Arena. Participants must register online at least three days before the event; race numbers are mailed in advance. Facilities include a bag drop, water station, and nearby public toilets, with showers available at the Millennium Arena for a small fee. The event emphasizes personal achievement and community spirit, inspired by founder Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy of self-transcendence through running.
