If we say London, football, and a legendary stadium, you think of…? Wembley, of course! ✅ A correct answer without cheating deserves the rest. So what’s a football doing on Finishers? 🤔 Well, ASICS LDNX turns the Wembley area, temple of English football, into one huge party for the duration of a wild 10K 🎸. See you in mid-October in north-west London, on roads completely closed to traffic—perfect for calmly aiming for a personal best 💨. Weather-wise, England’s sky often hesitates between drizzle and bright spells: slip a lightweight windbreaker into your bag, just in case ☂️.
No need to master Harry Kane’s heading game or have Beckham’s style to take part 😎. This time, the boots stay in the locker room and the road running shoes are out! 👟 Each wave sets off to the sound of a stadium anthem, then the route heads north through residential streets to the green edges of Fryent Country Park 🍃. Then it’s back towards the arch for the big new feature of this edition: a full lap of Wembley Stadium—your own personal victory lap 🏆. On Champions Way, dancers, cheerleaders and a stadium announcer await you in front of the bronze statue of Bobby Moore, the only England captain to have lifted the World Cup, in 1966 ⚽. No time to get bored 🤪: percussion bands 🥁, a rock choir and the Tune Truck blast the watts right to the end of the effort 🎧. The final straight is run on the famous Olympic Way, with the Wembley arch in your sights 🎯.
The concept? An electric 10K, designed as one of the capital’s most rockin’ festive races and imagined by the team behind the London Winter Run, the country’s biggest 10K 😍. Rock connoisseurs know it well: the old Wembley saw Queen deliver a legendary performance at Live Aid in 1985 🧑🎤. On the solidarity side, ASICS LDNX joins the family of charity races by supporting Alzheimer's Research UK: a reduced-price entry option commits you to fundraising for dementia research 💜. Once the superb finisher medal is hanging around your neck, no sneaking off to the shower 🏅. The final whistle blows at the official after-party at BoxPark Wembley, with a live band on the programme 🍻. The perfect way to relive the race over a good pint and celebrate your 10K 🥳.
Don’t leave without a little tour of London, which is among the most run-through major cities for runners, from the London Marathon to city races 🔎. The next day, a recovery jog along the Thames takes you from Westminster, where Big Ben and Parliament stand 👑, to the majestic Tower Bridge 🌉. Then treat yourself to a panorama over the United Kingdom’s capital from the London Eye 🎡 or the Sky Garden, before saluting the guards at Buckingham Palace 💂♂️. Culture-wise, the British Museum opens its doors to you for free 🏛️, while Covent Garden cultivates its trendy vibe 🌱. To refuel after your ten kilometres, nothing beats fish and chips or a Sunday roast in a pub 🐟.
We hope you’re fully motivated, because the show must go ooooooon 🤘
Your 10 km sets off on First Way, just a stone’s throw from Wembley Stadium 🏟️. Head north via Bridge Road and then Forty Lane: you’ll thread through the avenues of the borough of Brent, closed to traffic, between rows of typical London suburban houses 🏡. Just after km 2 begins the course’s long straight, an out-and-back along the edge of Fryent Country Park, the neighborhood’s green lung 🌳. You’ll pass runners ahead of you or behind you—perfect for giving your mates a shout as you go by 🔁. Turn around around km 3.5, then head back along a parallel section to Wembley Park station, which you’ll reach around km 6 as you approach Bobby Moore Bridge. The route then slips past the OVO Arena Wembley and the London Designer Outlet, before taking on at km 8 a full lap of honor around the stadium via Pacific Crescent and South Way 💪. In front of the statue of Bobby Moore, the crowd’s roar will carry you into the final push 📣. One last loop around BOXPARK comes before the final sprint down Olympic Way, with the stadium arch in your sights.
