As the High Performance London Half and 10k at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park draws near, the excitement is growing. Behind the scenes, the RunThrough team has been diligently working to ensure a seamless experience for the big day.
Our Operations team, the backbone of event delivery, is handling various preparations with expertise. From ensuring microphones are charged to packing water bottles, their experience shines as they navigate the intricacies of organising this event in one of the world’s busiest locations.
The park is transforming into a runner’s haven with the setup of the bag drop, start and finish gantries, and thousands of barriers taking place from Saturday morning.
Our team of experts will be working throughout the weekend to create an unforgettable event space. Jessica Ennis-Hill shared a good luck message and running tips to all attending the event, stating “Don’t go too hard” and “Have a good running technique.” You can check it out here.
In addition to offering a thrilling race experience for participants, the High Performance London Half and 10k at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will have lots of things going on for friends and family to enjoy the event village while loved ones are out running. With the inclusion of external vendors such as a face painter and a variety of food and drink options, attendees can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere and ample entertainment opportunities throughout the event. Whether cheering on loved ones or soaking in the excitement of the race, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Post-race, runners are able to go into the historic stadium and celebrate by taking a photo.
Our dedicated volunteers, the heart of our community, are gearing up to support and entertain participants on Sunday. From RunThrough’s mascot, Ronnie the Road-Runner to the Marshals, their commitment ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The Event team and volunteers have been meticulously preparing race packs for collection on the day at the Event Village. While we focus on delivering an exceptional event this Sunday, the RunThrough team is already looking ahead to the 2025 edition, exploring new and unique medal ideas to enhance the running community experience.
In additional to High Performance, we must extend a massive thank you to all of our event partners as well as our RunThrough channel partners; Brooks, Nuun, SportsShoes, MoreYoga, Focal Point Position, New Levels Coaching, Runner Retreats, GoFundMe and LoveCorn.
We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!
