The Cancer Research UK London Summer Run is a 10k challenge through the heart of the city, passing world-famous landmarks, and instantly recognisable areas that have been given a summer spin.
The event is inspired by the hugely popular, critically acclaimed London Winter Run, launched in 2015 in partnership with Cancer Research UK, and has seen over 83,000 people take part and over 4 million raised for life-saving cancer research. It regularly receives incredible reviews from those who have taken part.

Below is the provisional route of the 2021 Cancer Research UK London Summer Run. Some small tweaks are likely to be made in the lead up to the event.
The route is full of the sights and sounds of London, every kilometre giving a new experience, and with no major hills to note the course will suit all abilities and ambitions. We’ll be revealing several exciting additions to the route, including live music and other surprises, over the coming months.
