Serpentine New Year's Day 10K
Serpentine New Year's Day 10K is a 10 km race held in Greater London, United Kingdom, in January. A shorter 3 km fun run is also offered, and the event welcomes runners of all abilities.
The route stays on paths closed to traffic across Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Runners complete two short laps of Kensington Gardens before heading back into Hyde Park, passing the Peter Pan statue, the Long Water, the Italian Gardens and Kensington Palace along the way.
Start and finish are both in Hyde Park, at the Old Football Pitches, so the whole loop sits inside the royal parkland of central London. It makes a flat, scenic setting for a first run of the year.
