Volunteers will be handing out water at the two aid stations on the course, at approximately 6.25km and 8.75km.

6.25km - Water cups and a water bottle refill station.

8.75km - Water cups only.

We are completely plastic-free on the route, and all water is served in 100% recyclable cups. Please try to dispose of your cups into the large bins placed to the side of the road just after each aid station. Please only take one cup at a time. Cups that don’t make it into the bins are much harder to recycle, so we’re hoping you can all help us be as green as possible.

If you are not planning to take water, please try to keep to the opposite side of the road to allow other runners through. The water stations are long, so there’s no need to rush to the first table.

Once the runners have crossed the start line, family, friends, and fans will be able to track participants throughout the route on the official Saucony London 10K App. This will be available to download via the Apple App Store & Google Play Store a week before the event.

The App will contain participant tracking, spectator info, course maps & more!

Look out for volunteers in their pink hi-vis positioned along the route and at key turning points, as well as cheering you on they will help with general directions for runners and spectators.

In the event of an emergency, runners will be asked to move to the side of the road to allow access for an emergency vehicle. Please follow any instructions given by course marshals, at all times.

The medical centre is located shortly after the finish line. Professional medical staff will be available here, as well as on the course and at the bag drop area. Medical staff will also be located at each of the aid stations, should a runner face difficulty. There will also be a medical information point located at the help desk should you have any concerns about a runner. If you feel unwell during the race, please stop and find your nearest race marshal or aid station.

Each kilometre will be clearly marked on the route.

IIf you find or misplace an item, lost property will be located at the Help Desk in Waterloo Place.

Our friendly photographers at Marathon Photos will be taking your pictures on course, as well as at the finish line. Look out for the “smile for the camera” signs and be sure to give the photographers a wave or thumbs up if you’re feeling the love. We will send you a pre-race email with a link to invite your friends and family to view your photos as you run, plus an email with a link to purchase your photos after the event. Every time you pass a Marathon Photos photographer, you could have photos online within seconds.

Make your Saucony London 10K medal even more special by engraving your medal with your name and finishing time.

You will either have received your race pack in the mail, or if you have opted for race pack collection, you will need to pick up your race bib from:

The Saucony Store - Covent Garden

4 James St, London WC2E 8BH

Race bib collection will be available:

Wednesday 9 July - Friday July 11: 12:00 - 19:00

Saturday 12 July: 10:00 - 18:00

If you can, please collect your bib at the start of the week to avoid queuing during busier times closer to race day. Don’t forget to bring your safety pins with you on race day.

NOTE: If you opted for race pack postage and it hasn’t arrived by Friday 11 July, please visit the Saucony Store on Saturday to pick up a replacement.

With thousands of you running, we need to manage the race timings carefully. Therefore, any runners going a little slower, who are predicted to finish after 12:15, may be asked to move to the pavement so that we can get London moving again! The sweep team will be there to support anyone post 12:15.

We have a fantastic line-up of live entertainment positioned all along the route to energise runners and keep spirits high for all. We strongly suggest running without headphones to hear any necessary emergency announcements and to soak up the incredible atmosphere

Results will be posted on the Saucony London 10K website after the race. If you entered a mobile number when you registered, you will also receive a text with your official race time when you finish.

Throughout the planning of the Saucony London 10K, we’ve been working closely with the Metropolitan Police Service to ensure we keep everyone safe and secure. As well as our teams of staff and volunteers, we have over 400 security staff in position at all key areas and around the entire 10K race route. These security staff and police officers are there to help the day run smoothly.

There will be toilet facilities positioned inside the bag drop area at Waterloo Place, as well as at the entrance to the start area at the bottom of St James’s Street. If you are not using bag drop on race morning, then please use the toilets at the start area on St James’s Street. There will also be toilets positioned at each aid station around the race route.

There will be toilets on the way to the start line in the following locations:

Pen A - C: In Green Park

Pen D - H: On Pall Mall

Your timing chip, which accurately measures your time, is attached to your race number. Please do not remove, bend, fold, or cover the chip, as we will be unable to track your time. If your timing chip is bent in the post, visit the help desk on Sunday morning and we can provide you with a replacement.

We encourage you to consider managing your own hydration and running ‘self-sufficient’ by bringing a running water bottle. There will be water cups available at both aid stations on the race route; however, if you’d prefer to bring your own bottle, there will also be refill points before the start on St James’s Street and at the first aid station at 6.25km.
