The Eltham Park 5

15 June 2025

NEJ Running Club are proud to present this year's EP5 2025 Race & Family Fun Run. This is our annual event, organised entirely by volunteers.

The EP5 is Eltham's longstanding 5-mile race and fun run and this year we are delighted to be raising money for the brilliant Greenwich & Bexley Community Hopsice. A proportion of the proceeds from the overall event will be donated to the charity. We welcome serious athletes from across London, as well as people new to running and many families for our ever popular family fun run.

The route follows the paths and trails of Eltham Park South and Oxleas Woods against a backdrop of early summer woodland. This is a great way to explore the Green Chain Walk.

The 1-mile family fun run starts at 10.15am. The 5-mile race follows at 11.00am.

Run as a team to compete for team prizes: add your team or club name when you complete registration.

Under UK Athletics rules, participants in the 5-mile race must be at least 17 years old on the day of the race.

Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third men and women, age-group winners and winning teams.

All participants will receive a medal.
