Going Round In Circles

Put the fun back into running with Go Beyond Challenge’s Going Round in Circles – the London Circle Line Challenge. Tackle all 27 stations on the yellow Circle Line, starting at Gail’s Bakery by Paddington, where you’ll collect your race number and tracker. Go solo or pair up: run clockwise or anticlockwise, snapping a selfie at every station as proof. Teams share the effort—one runner rides the Tube with a daily travelcard to the agreed meeting point while the other runs between stations, then swap tracker and travelcard and repeat. Station gaps range from 0.2 to 1.2 miles, for roughly 16 miles of total running. There are no checkpoints, but plenty of shops en route, and if you’re injured or done for the day, just hop on the Tube back to the start. Every finisher earns a bespoke Circle Line Challenge medal—and we’ll celebrate with cake and coffee back at the bakery.
