17th Green Park was enjoyed by landed gentry in heavy imported cotton, lace and latterly tweed, and we are lead to believe that no moisture wicking Dri Fit material was readily available
LGN 1km loops have been located and measured at several key points around London for use primarily by LGN Run Clubs http://www.lgnwellbeing.com/
These LGN 1km loops serve several key purposes:
Provide comparable LGN standard course for all our Run Clubs
- Via monthly time trial assist with tangible fitness progress
- Offer guide to tempo for people planning fun runs or PB races
- Building confidence for those aiming for initial 5km or 10km
- Help fan the flames of Inter LGN Run Club banter

'But how accurately measured are these LGN 1km loops?' we hear you say...
-
While we at LGN embrace technology with a cuddly bear lost & found like grip, and indeed for identifying our LGN 1km loops we used internet mapping to find best routes with same start / finish area, however when it came to accurate measurement we laughed in the face of GPS and used trusted measuring techniques for inch perfect accuracy, thus while you will have a route map to provide, rest easy knowing we walked every single 1km loop with a manual measuring wheel to make sure each one LGN 1km loop is indeed exactly 1km.

The LGN Green Park 1km is a very simple loop but is not for the Run Club faint hearted, as its hill will test physical and mental resolve, if you want the easy flat & quick option pop over to our Hyde Park 1km loop instead...
To gain a good overview idea of Green Park course please click on mapping link below:
But to get a guided pictorial & detailed tour of the LGN loop please see below.
Luckily someone had already marked the start point with a dash of eco friendly white paint at the base of the lamp post.
Your view as you consider the beginning of your LGN 1km loop, the pathway ahead quickly leads to only hill on the course, hang on to your hat & get ready to get inside the hurt box.
Finish line is in middle of path intersection
So lets lace up and use the loop to either join us with our monthly time trials, or perhaps use it for rep session, do five and get a 5km time or perhaps as a guide to tempo for an upcoming race.
We look forward to hearing your results - please let us know via this blog or indeed via our The LGN Run Club on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24456264587
Or if you think your company should join the likes of BP, M&C Saatchi & Nike et al and deserves an uber cost effective LGN Run Club, then contact us via info@lgnwellbeing.com for more info.
Happy running from all the team at LGN
