This flat and fast 5km out-and-back route offers a seamless pavement running experience through the heart of South East London. Starting at the Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, you’ll head North-West along the Surrey Canal Walk, a beautifully reclaimed urban greenway that provides a traffic-free corridor perfect for tempo runs or interval training. With zero elevation gain and 100% paved surfaces, this course is an ideal setting for runners looking to chase a personal best or enjoy a steady, accessible recovery run amidst the vibrant energy of Peckham and Camberwell.
Burgess Park is one of London’s most fascinating "new" parks, having been carved out of a heavily industrialised landscape post-WWII. As you run along the Surrey Canal Walk, you are literally retracing the path of the old Grand Surrey Canal, which once bustled with timber-laden barges. Today, the area has been transformed into an award-winning green space that serves as a vital ecological link. Keep an eye out for the historic lime kiln and the various art installations that dot the landscape, offering a glimpse into the area's transition from a Victorian industrial hub to a thriving community sanctuary.
