Serpentine New Year’s Day 10K and 3K Fun Run | 10K

The event is organised by Serpentine Running Club volunteers. Every year on New Year’s Day, we host the Serpentine New Year’s Day 10K race and 3K Fun Run. Both events are held entirely on traffic-free paths within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. The races are UKA licenced and held under UKA rules – UKA race licence. The course takes in many iconic landmarks including Kensington Palace, the Italian Gardens and the Henry Moore statue. The NYD10K race starts in Hyde Park and is run on entirely traffic-free paths through Hyde Park, with the majority of the race taking place in Kensington Gardens. Runners complete two short laps in Kensington Gardens before returning to Hyde Park, finishing on the south side of the Serpentine at The Old Football Pitches.
