In short: Probably *the* friendliest race series in London
In full: It's hard to fault the Run and Become shop and their Self Transcendence race series. Small event but very friendly and very good support staff/marshalling.
I personally like Battersea park, although it's fairly small, so 10 miles ended up to be 6 laps. Due to trees a lot of shadows which made it easier in the summer heat though.

In full: 10miles round the lovely Battersea Park on a gloriously sunny morning and finished by just after 9am. Well run with a good cross-section of runner. Perfect!
