London 100 has launched. Registration is here. Entries to London 100 close at 23:55 Monday 5 May 2025, if not sold out before. If you're unable to join us in 2025, but you're keen to hear about when we launch future events, we recommend you registering your interest here.

For central London's only ultramarathon, we wanted to give you the best support, run past the best sights and to see the amazing variety that Central London provides. We have planned our route in 4 sections (East, South, North, West). Each of these sections is 25km long. The London 100 100km participants will complete all 4 sections. The London 100 50km participants will complete 2 sections (South and North). The London 100 25km participants will complete 1 section (South). The routes are largely out and back. The reason for this is to ensure ease of navigation, but it also gives you a great opportunity to hi-5 or support your fellow runners as you see them along the route. London 100 is an urban ultra, and as such we are an open-road event, not a closed road event. Participants will need to safely navigate some road crossings (largely at pedestrian crossings) and yield to other pavement users. There will be times when you're running in wide open spaces in parks etc and other times when you're running on some busy pavements. Either way, this is all part of the beauty and variety that a city like London delivers. The sights you see will be epic and you are sure to discover some new areas of the capital that you didn't know existed. Enjoy the ride!

Yes, but only in the 100km and only in the final 25km leg (West). Pacers/buddies are not permitted in the 50km and 25km challenges.

We have a sweep team who will follow the final runner, and take down all event signage as they go. There is no sweep vehicle, but if you have a payment card with you, and you need to reture from the event, then you can travel on public transport to your preferred destination. Please note that all retirements need to be informed to Event Control, and you may need to return to RunHQ for your bag.

Simply call Event Control on your mobile phone to confirm a retirement. Or you can retire by informing one of the Event Team at the Checkpoints/RunHQ

The London 100km will have starts from 7am. The London 50km and London 25km will have starts from 9am. Starts are in small groups to avoid congestion.
