Summer League: Third Fixture Dulwich Park, Sunday 2nd July

Racing, cakes, coffee, beer, Degas and Vermeer. The Dulwich Park event does not just offer a race, it's also a great day out.

This pretty London village offers a range of places to eat and drink and also the world famous Dulwich Picture Gallery is just outside the park. It is celebrating its bicentennial this year and as well as its well-stocked collection there is a special exhibition of Sargent's watercolours. Not to be missed.

The Summer League is a competition between a select group of London running clubs. There are 5 fixtures located in parks around Greater London. You can enter as many or as few as you like. There are age-graded prizes up for grabs, and everybody who takes part scores points for Serpentine's standing in the league, so you are welcome whether 10k will take you 35 or 95 minutes. The entry fee is included in your club membership, so you can just turn up and race on the day.
