About
Log off and line up on Sept 3rd for Run The Wharf, a fast-paced 5K race, a Friday Night Lights party run, and after after-work social set in the iconic heart of Canary Wharf. Whether you're racing for a personal best or just here for the vibes, this unique city run delivers energy, atmosphere, and unbeatable views.
You’ll be running through the slick streets of Canary Wharf, past the glass towers, gardens and through the largest urban regeneration projects in Europe.
Finish running and head to our music areas, bars, and food vendors and enjoy the curated social late into the evening.
This is a race, a reset, and a reminder that there's more to the Wharf than work.
