Location: London, England

Discover the peaceful Bow Waterways on this 10km paved loop, tracing the Hertford Union Canal, Regent's Canal, Limehouse Cut, and Lee Navigation. This largely flat route offers a delightful escape into London's quieter, green pockets, passing under numerous bridges, including the substantial one beneath Bow Roundabout. Enjoy the urban wildlife and canal boat life that characterises this historic network.

Predominantly paved and with minimal elevation gain, this route is ideal for convenient training runs, whether you're looking for a brisk daily jog or a longer weekend workout. The scenic canal-side path, with its unbroken surfaces and lack of significant climbs, is also perfect for those seeking a relaxed run amidst London's built-up environment, providing a refreshing change of scenery for both locals and visitors.
