Every Easter Monday, Regent's Park transforms into one of London's most joyful running events — and in 2026, the London Easter 10K takes place on 6 April, kicking off at 10:30am from Race HQ on The Broad Walk, NW1 4NP. Whether you're chasing a personal best, completing your first 10K, or running in fancy dress as a giant bunny, this is the race for you.
The course is a three-lap tarmac route through the heart of Regent's Park, officially measured and certified for accuracy. It's a flat, fast circuit with just one gentle incline per lap — ideal for anyone targeting a PB. The route winds past lush gardens, the boating lake, and offers glimpses of the animals at London Zoo. Every finisher receives a bespoke medal, with trophies and prizes for top finishers across multiple age categories.
Alongside the main 10K, the event also features an adults' Fun Run (approximately 2 miles, starting at 10:30am) and a Junior Race for younger runners (starting at 10:00am). Fancy dress is actively encouraged — past years have seen everything from Easter eggs to full Easter bunny costumes crossing the finish line.
The event is organised by Nice Work Race Management, one of London's most experienced running event organisers. Registration is required in advance; there is very limited parking on the Outer Circle (pay and display from 9am), so public transport is strongly recommended.
Getting there: Nearest tube station is Regent's Park (Bakerloo line). Baker Street (Jubilee/Metropolitan/Circle/Bakerloo/Hammersmith & City) and Great Portland Street (Circle/Metropolitan/Hammersmith & City) are also within easy walking distance.
