Join the fun - entries are open! 

What better way to kick off marathon weekend than with an electric 5K in Battersea Park? In an exciting collab between the TCS London Marathon and Friday Night Lights, we’re bringing you the first‑ever edition of this event in 2026. 

It’s the perfect intro to the city for international participants experiencing London for the very first time, and you will also get the chance to meet fellow TCS London Marathon runners!

Every Friday, Friday Night Lights take to the streets with speakers strapped to their backs, blasting confetti and singing their hearts out. And for this special marathon‑weekend edition, they’ll be out in full force, leading you through a high‑energy 5K like no other. Expect feel‑good anthems and an unbeatable sense of togetherness.
