The RunThrough Brixton 5k, 10k and Half Marathon took place on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at Brockwell Park. Runners covered distances of 5k, 10k and 13.1 miles on the park grounds in SE24 0PA.

Brockwell Park serves as a central location for local running activity. The recent race highlighted how organised events connect participants who also take part in ongoing weekly clubs across Brixton.

Wednesday Evening Groups Offer Free Routes

High Achievers Lab runs a free weekly run club every Wednesday at 7 PM. Participants start from the studio at 80 Atlantic Road in Brixton SW9 8PX and follow 4-5km routes through Brixton and Brockwell Park. RunTalkRun Brixton meets at the same time each Wednesday, with a 7:15 PM start at the Prince Regent Pub on Dulwich Road for a free 5km group run that emphasises mental health and social connection.

These sessions operate without entry fees and use established local starting points. The combination of park-based routes and pub meets allows runners to join at different levels while staying within familiar Brixton streets and green space.

Regular Park Options Provide Entry Points

Brockwell Park hosts a regular parkrun that functions as an accessible first step for runners in the area. The event complements the Wednesday clubs by giving participants another no-cost opportunity to run on the same grounds used for the July 5 race.

Local runners can locate the next Wednesday session by heading to 80 Atlantic Road at 7 PM or the Prince Regent Pub on Dulwich Road at 7:15 PM. Those new to group running can begin with the parkrun at Brockwell Park to test routes before committing to the weekly clubs.
