Lesnes Abbey Woods, London, UK

Follow event Run/Walk Off Road/Trail

The Lesnes Abbey 5 on 14 December 2025 is a hilly 5 mile(ish) race on the brutal, but beautiful trails of Lesnes Abbey Woods in south east London.

The route is a Grade A Fell Race, packing in over 1,000ft of elevation - one of the toughest within the M25. The course starts on gravel before entering the woods, where it is all off-road trails. There will likely be hazards such as slippery mud/steps/slopes, tree roots and general woodland debris. Trail shoes are recommended.

With a generous 90-minute cut-off, the race is open to all.

The race is organised by Plumstead Runners in memory of club founder Ray Marshall.
