Another year, another Current---another 5k run/walk for anyone who'd like to join!
Did I mostly copy-and-paste this from last year's post? You bet I did!
This is a tradition that started back at Kafka Summit San Francisco in 2019 over the Golden Gate Bridge and has continued since then.
London's Docklands offer up what would charitably be described as not the most...picturesque of routes---but with a group of similarly minded people, what could be a better way to start day 1 of Current 2026 London than a 5k run or walk :) Plus, it's flat! 🙌
Who? What? Where? When?
Who: Anyone who would like to is very welcome :)
What: A 5k (3.1 miles) run or walk
Where: Starting from the Aloft Hotel (next to the ExCeL centre), heading anti-clockwise around the quayside at ExCeL.
When: Tuesday 19th May at 07:30 BST.
We'll meet at 07:30 in the carpark in front of the hotel. That'll give us time to congregate and take some #streamingselfies if you want them, before setting off at 07:35 sharp to make our way around the 5k route.
Go at your own pace; this isn't a race. You can run, or walk. Or skip, if you prefer. You can download the route to follow at your leisure. In fact, it's a good idea to do so because this is not an organised event, so it's your responsibility not to get lost :-D
If you Strava, feel free to join the Strava Club.
Cool, where do I register?
Register at /dev/null ;-)
This is an entirely unofficial, barely-organised, thing. Turn up and run, if you want. Don't, if you don't. Fully intend to but sleep in from the jetlag and miss it, that's completely fine 😁
