Important notes

Please always check our news page for the latest news on availability of places in our races. We are increasingly selling out of places before the day. We do not want you to turn up and be disappointed.

The only way to ensure you get a place is to enter by post at least 3 weeks in advance (see the How to Enter section).
If you simply turn up on the day you will not be able to race – sorry.
The policy of the Club is not to refund money except in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the club's Committee.

The Race

The race starts at 12.30pm, sharp. Meet at the Bandstand from 12.00 noon. The Bandstand is on Serpentine Road, Hyde Park. The nearest tube station is Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly Line).

If you already have your race number, there is no need for you to register separately on the day. Please wear your number clearly on the front of your race clothing. It must be clearly visible to officials at all times but removed once you have crossed the finish line.

The race limit is 200 runners. The race has a staggered start.

The initial start (the A Race) is for those runners who realistically expect to finish in less than 22 minutes (usually race numbers under 130)
All other runners start 2 minutes later in the B Race (race numbers 131 and above).

The race is held under UK Athletics rules. UK Athletics Licence numer 2012-103297 applies. Certificate of Course accuracy number SEAA04/073.

Minimum age for girls and boys is 11 years.

There is a cut off time of 35 minutes. After this, we cannot undertake to keep the course marshaled.

For safety reasons, please do not run wearing headphones or other impediments to your hearing – you must be able to hear marshals' instructions. You need to be fully aware of what is going on around you at all times. This is for your safety, the safety of your fellow competitors and the safety of the general public.

Tuesday Interval Sessions at the O2/Dome

Tuesday Interval Sessions at the Dome/02

On Tuesday evenings we hold an interval session for distance runners along the flat and fast riverside path near the O2 (formerly known as "The Dome") on the Greenwich peninsula.

Coaching is by Karen Hancock

Over the winter the session will usually be at lactate threshold (LT) pace to help you improve your speed-endurance. As Spring approaches we will start to introduce a little more speed to help sharpen you up for the spring racing season. Combined with a broad endurance base, this type of training will make you a faster runner at distances from 10k to marathon.

Where and when?

We meet at 7:00pm on the Thames Path near the high flats in the Millennium village, about a 3/4 mile walk/jog East from North Greenwich tube station. Some runners usually congregate at the top of the escalators at 6:45pm to chum newbies to the rendezvous point. Please arrive in warm-ups/ready to run and make sure to bring your own stopwatch. A stopwatch with a multiple lap timer would be ideal for these sessions. See the Dome page for further details. Please book online if you would like to attend, as I need to limit numbers of health and safety reasons. The sessions have become very popular, and we only take bookings up to 7 days before each session; no block booking is allowed. Please remove your name promptly if you change your plans to free up your spot for others.

Who are the sessions for?

The sessions are targeted at endurance runners and triathletes who take part in running events throughout the year on any type of surface. Ideally, you should have built up a good base of stamina and endurance before you start to introduce faster-paced work. LT work is the best form of speed training to do over the winter to supplement your aerobic conditioning work before you start to sharpen up your speed after the New Year in preparation for your spring target races. If you are in doubt, get in touch with Karen.

What is the format of the sessions?

The sessions last about one hour and consist of a 1/2-mile jog warm-up, around 30-40 minutes'-worth of repetitions, and a cool-down 1/2 mile jog. Because of time constraints we cannot include work on technique/drills. We cover around 6 miles in total in these sessions (including warm-up/cool-down). Future sessions are shown below.

The purpose of the sessions in winter is to increase your lactate threshold – i.e. the pace at which you start to experience accumulation of lactate in your tissues. Push up your LT and you will find your race pace at all distances from 10k and upwards improves (when combined with improving your endurance). An additional benefit of the sessions is that they teach you good pace judgement.

How do I know what my lactate threshold pace is now?

There are 3 ways:

By perceived effort:

"A hard but sustainable effort" – about the level of effort you would expect in a race lasting about 60 mins (between 10 mile and 10k pace for most people). It should feel "comfortably hard", but you need to concentrate to keep it going.

By Heart Rate Monitor:

Most people's LT if they have a good endurance base will be in the region of 85-90% of their Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) pace. Less well-trained runners will find their LT nearer to 80% of their MHR.

From a recent race performance:

If you use a Garmin or other SDM for training, you can be more precise about the pace you need to achieve in these sessions by putting a recent race performance into a calculator: the pace you want is described as "tempo intervals."

Sessions until 6 March 2012

Date	Session
17 Jan	2 sets of 10 ( 1min @ 10k pace; 1 min @ tempo pace; continuous running); 2 mins recovery

Sunday League

This league comprises 14 clubs from North London and Hertfordshire. It should not be confused with the road running Sunday League – also known as the Summer League.

The standard is somewhat lower that the Metropolitan League therefore, it provides less experienced club members with an excellent introduction to cross country running. The league is a team competition. There are 8 "scorers" in the men's "A" team. The next 8 finishers count as a "B" team. The first 5 women score as an "A" team with the next 5 counting towards a "B" team. There are also veteran men's (4 to score) and veteran women's (3 to score) teams. There are no junior races in this league and both first and second claim Serpies can count towards the scoring team.

At the end of the season there are trophies for the winning teams and the leading runners in various age categories.

Women and men both start together, at 10.30am, and run the same distance. Race distances vary between 5 and 6 miles.

Southern Vets' League

Southern Counties Veterans' Track and Field

Serpentine enters teams in the Southern Counties Veterans' AC League, which comprises four fixtures on Monday nights during the Spring/Summer.

The Vets League is split into various divisions (Serpentine are in the Mid-London division) and men's and women's teams compete against each other over most of the track and field event programme (excluding hurdles but including race walk).

There are separate events for different age groups (men 35–49, 50–59 and over 60, and women 35–49, 50–59 and over 60). Aggregate points earned from the Monday fixtures determine the league position. Leading teams from each division go on to meet in the league final at the end of the season (usually early September).

The Welsh Castles Relay takes place on the second weekend in June every year. The race starts in Caernarfon on Saturday morning and ends in Cardiff on Sunday afternoon with an awards presentation once the final team has finished.

There are 20 stages ranging in distance from 8 to 14 miles passing many Welsh Castles in some challenging terrain and each team has 20 runners who each run one stage over the course of the weekend, with ten stages on Saturday and ten on Sunday. For 2012 we will certainly have two teams as we are defending champions. We'll find out about vets team in March.

The Serpentine women's team won the ladies race in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The men's team won the race in 2009 and 2010.

More information on the race including descriptions of each stage can be found on the website of the Running Club that organises and hosts this prestigious event. Some of us travel to Wales by minibus on Friday night, staying overnight in B&B accommodation in Caernarfon and the remainder travel early on Saturday morning. We stay overnight on Saturday, again in B&B accommodation, near the half way point of the race.

We also need drivers, marshals and supporters – if you would like to help please contact the Welsh Castles team.

Club Championships

The Serpentine Club Championships are a series of races with trophies for the male, female and age-graded winners of each race. The 1k and 5k races are part of the"grand-prix" (which also includes the 1mile and 3000m track races) and are organised by the club so there is no advance entry – you just turn up on the day. The other races are open races and you must enter them yourself.

To count for club championship competitions you must:

Be a first claim member of Serpentine Running Club
Have entered under your own name
Compete wearing club colours (with the exception of the marathon, where we would ask you to wear club colours if you possibly can)

The Serpentine Age-Graded Championship uses performance factors to calibrate Club Championship race times, to put everyone (male and female, younger and older) on a level playing field. The overall championship will be awarded to the first claim member with the highest average percentage from any 5 of the championship races (road and track).

The results of the club championships are published in the results database.

Any marathon run this year will count towards the Club Championships. When inputting marathon times in the results database the official time should be used, and for championship contenders this will be checked at the end of the year against published results.

The dates of the club championships are listed below. They are also included in the Serpentine Planner where they are highlighted in yellow.
