Another year, another Current—another 5k run/walk for anyone who’d like to join!
Did I mostly copy-and-paste this from last year’s post? You bet I did!
This is a tradition that started back at Kafka Summit San Francisco in 2019 over the Golden Gate Bridge and has continued since then.
| London’s Docklands offer up what would charitably be described as not the most…picturesque of routes—but with a group of similary minded people, what could be a better way to start day 1 of Current 2026 London than a 5k run or walk :) Plus, it’s flat! 🙌 |
Who? What? Where? When? 🔗
-
Who: Anyone who would like to is very welcome :)
-
What: A 5k (3.1 miles) run or walk
-
Where: Starting from the Aloft Hotel (next to the ExCeL centre), heading anti-clockwise around the quayside at ExCeL.
-
When: Tuesday 19th May at 07:30 BST.
We’ll meet at 07:30 in the carpark in front of the hotel. That’ll give us time to congregate and take some #streamingselfies if you want them, before setting off at 07:35 sharp to make our way around the 5k route.
Go at your own pace; this isn’t a race. You can run, or walk. Or skip, if you prefer. You can download the route to follow at your leisure. In fact, it’s a good idea to do so because this is not an organised event, so it’s your responsibility not to get lost :-D
If you Strava, feel free to join the Strava Club.
Cool, where do I register? 🔗
Register at /dev/null ;-)
This is an entirely unofficial, barely-organised, thing. Turn up and run, if you want. Don’t, if you don’t. Fully intend to but sleep in from the jetlag and miss it, that’s completely fine 😁
