Sri Chinmoy Dashing Deer 5K, 2026

On a very warm June evening, despite the heat warnings, 213 brave souls lined up to run the Dashing Deer 5K in Battersea Park. Even though the temperature was above 30 Celcius, it was a very pleasant evening with a gentle breeze.

Fred Smithers was the first man home in 15:34 followed by Victor Lio and Matthew Haynes.

The first woman was Katie Grinyer in 17:21.

Congratulations to Serpentine and LFR who used the race as their club championships. And congratulations to everyone for a great race and staying safe in the heat.

See you at the Battersea Relays on July 21st.
