The 5K Event
This year the 5K Your Way event takes place on Wednesday 18th June, 6.30pm, at Hackney Marshes, just moments away from the London 2012 Olympic Park
The London Borough of Hackney had the most participants at 5K Your Way 2012
With improved public transport links and parking and cycle racks available at the venue, Hackney Marshes is easily accessible from many London locations. Whichever form of transport you choose you are sure to be impressed by the Olympic stadiums that you will see on your journey there.
We would advise you to take public transport or cycle to the venue. Here is a link to a tube map. If you are driving, we would like to encourage a car sharing system. If you are driving and have some spare space in your car or would like a lift to the venue, perhaps you could arrange this through the 5K Your Way Facebook page – www.Facebook.com/5kyourway.
