About

Friday Night Lights brings its signature night running experience to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for a brand new 10K race and after party.

On Thursday 14th May - eve of the Hackney Half, thousands of runners and party goers will take over the iconic Olympic Park at sunset, racing a single-lap closed-road course past the London Stadium, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome before finishing into a fully-produced event village on Hopkins Field for afters into the night.

This is FNL at its most ambitious: longer distance, bigger venue, landmark backdrop. The route threads through East London's most recognisable sporting landscape as daylight fades to dusk, creating something between race and rave.

Hackney Quarter sits on the eve of Hackney Half Marathon weekend, offering runners a shorter, faster alternative – and a very different kind of Friday night.

The UK's healthiest night out. Now in Olympic territory.
