New in 2025 – A Run Around the Circle Line in London
It’s time to put the fun back into running!
A lot of people don’t know this, but I was the first tube runner, not that Jonny Davies guy.
Back in February 2023, I completed my own tube challenge. OK, I only ran one tube line and he ran all 11, but who’s counting? What I did discover was how much fun it was and how little I focused on the 17 miles of running.
And so, this year, Go Beyond Challenge is introducing ‘Going Round in Circles’ – the London Circle Line Challenge. As the name suggests, the aim is to run between every underground station on the Circle Line (the yellow one!) – all 27 of them.
Event Details
Entrants can take part as a team of two or individually for a bigger challenge. The race will start at the Volunteer Pub near Regent’s Park, where runners will collect their race number and tracker.
Runners will set off either clockwise or anticlockwise around the Circle Line, taking a selfie at each of the 27 stations as proof.
Team Option
If you are in a team of two, one runner will travel by tube to the next meeting point while the other runs. You will then swap roles at each meeting point.
The total running distance is around 16 miles. There are no checkpoints, but plenty of shops if you need supplies. If you need to drop out, you can simply take the tube back to the start.
Awards
All finishers will receive a special Circle Line Challenge medal.
When
