NEW in 2025 – a run around the Circle Line in London.

 

It’s time to put the fun back into running!

 

A lot of people don’t know this but I was the first tube runner, not that Jonny Davies guy.

Davies, who later admitted he found our little Go Beyond Country to Capital ramble to be “the toughest 70k I’ve ever run,” found fame in 2023 by running the 570km London Underground network in eleven days.

 

But it was back in February 2023 that I completed my own tube challenge. OK, I only ran one tube line and he ran all 11 but who’s counting?  What I did discover was how much fun it was and how little I focused on the 17 miles of running.

 

It was great to see the sights of London and the differences between the posh areas and the less so! Taking a selfie at each station was easy apart from Westminster where half the population of London came spilling out as I pressed the camera button!

 

And so, this year, Go Beyond Challenge is introducing ‘Going Round in Circles’ – the London Circle Line Challenge. As the name suggests, the aim is to run between every underground station on the Circle Line (the yellow one!) – all 27 of them.

 

Entrants can take part as a team of two, or individually if they fancy a bigger challenge. The race will start at the Volunteer Pub near Regents Park, where runners will be able to collect their race number and tracker. 

 

You will then set off either on an anticlockwise or clockwise run around the Central Line, collecting a selfie – as proof – at each of the 27 stations! 

 

If you are in a team of two, one runner will go to the Baker Street Tube Station and grab and a daily travel card and travel to your next meeting point on the Circle Line while the other will run to meet you there. It’s then time to swap the tracker for the travel card and agree your next meeting point.

 

The distance between stations varies from 0.2 miles to 1.2 miles. The overall distance to run will be around 16 miles. There are no checkpoints but plenty of shops! If you are injured or had enough then you can grab the tube back to the start. 

 

There will be a special circle line challenge medal for all finishers and the chance to grab a beer as we finish in the pub!

 

Jonny Davies, if you’re reading this, bring it on! Perhaps you can out your fancy Lululemon sponsorship on the line… it’s rightfully mine anyway!
