Lee Valley Regional Park Authority work with partners to develop the Regional Park as a hub of running activity to assist growth in the sport at all levels. The Regional Park offers a scenic, peaceful range of running routes that vary in length to escape from the busy urban roads that surround much of it. Nearly all the routes used for walking and cycling are also suitable for running or jogging. The Authority is working with running clubs and groups and plan to provide the following:

plot out and measure a range of running routes along the length of the Regional Park
provide website information on these routes and have brochures available
develop a marked 2km stretch or loop with each 400m marked off so keen runners can have accurately measured short stretches to test their performance
host any running groups wishing to use the Regional Park as a regular base for training
develop running events to promote both the sport and the Regional Park
run seminars based at Lee Valley Athletics Centre (LVAC) combining an organised run along the Pathway with advice from experienced coaches and athletes

In the meantime, runners wishing to use LVAC as a base to run on the adjacent Lee Valley Pathway but without using the track facilities, can change and shower within LVAC free of charge.
