LGN Run Club's Regents Park 10km course

 

LGN provides in-house Run Clubs to clients such as Jones Lang LaSalle, Coca Cola, M&C Saatchi, BP, Investec et al, with such presitgious clients we therefore do not measure with inaccurate GPS, oh no, instead we use calibrated measuring wheels to create our courses and then pay to have them officially measured and accredited by UK Athletics approved organisation AIMS.

Like bobsleigh champs doing their pre race track prep LGN realise our runners need to mentally prepapre and thus we are very happy to provide all 10km competitors with a 1980's a-ha video style photo story and old skool map of our Regents Park race course.

 

 

 LGN use measuring wheels not GPS to measure our routes

 

To use this LGN 10km course photo blog info either just have look at following pictures and get a feel for the beautiful course, or get together with running freinds to jog one of the two laps and get that cheeky advantage.

LGN Regents Park 10km photo journey below:

 

 The tarmac crease line is your 10km start line

 

 Head straight down the long path until you have this 180 degree turn

 

 This is the view as you now run up the other side towards the lady with the shopping bags

 

 After 100m you will turn right at this fork

 

 You will eventually come to this path junction, run straight ahead to the family group

 

 Again after 100m you will take the right fork, keeping the water on your right

 

 Hug the fence and just keep going straight

 

 You will go straight over this junction 

 

 Keep going straight ignoring the first right hand turn

 

 

But you do take the second right turn option

 

 Keep going straight, hugging the fence again

 

 And then get ready for a sharp 180 degree left hand turn

 

 At the end of the path you will turn left 

 

 And at then turn right at the junction by the bins

 

 Your view as you turn right at the bins and head towards the man in the red jumper 

 

 At the next junction take the hard right turn

 

 After turning right this will be your view

 

 And at the end go left and then immediately right into the main Broadwalk path

 

 Welcome to the Broadwalk, you will now run straight down

 

 And then take the path on the left just before the pedestrian crossing

 

 After 200m you take the left path at the junction above

 

 Keep going straight over the next crossing

 

 And then right at the monument

 

Followed by a right with a delightful downhill 

  

 At the bottom of the hill you simply follow the path left and back up

 

 This is your view as you turn to head back up the hill

 

 Turning left at the top of the hill as you approach the Zoo 

 

 As you approach the monument again turn right by the lady in orange

 

 Then take the right fork

 

 And keep hugging the path right and get ready to run alongside London Zoo

 

 You now run straight down alongside the Zoo (this path has now been enlarged)

 

 At the end you will prepare to take the 2nd left path option

 

 This is your view as you take the left turn

 

 At the end of the path you will have completed you first lap of two - now turn right to start your second lap 

 

 We wont repeat the entire 2nd loop, but this will be your view as you start it again and prepare for that devilsih 180 left hand degree turn, now repeat the same loop....

 

...and at end of lap 2 as you arrive back at this junction, you take the left hand turn  

 

 

And the left turn gives you a beautiful 200m sprint kick opprtunity to the finish line 

 

 

The tree on the left hand side represents the finish line!
