About

After selling out the inaugural Run The Wharf in 2025, Friday Night Lights are back to bring a running experience like no other to Canary Wharf. A new and improved race route and double the size after-party… Boy oh boy, it’ll be one to remember. Do not miss out!

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.

For Corporate Entries please click here!

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. We’ve got an after-party to boot with a knees up on Canada Square Park keeping you entertained throughout the night. And FYI running shoes work incredibly well as dancing shoes…

This is a race, a reset, and a reminder that there's more to the Wharf than work.

See you on the start line!
