The event started in 2007 as a 10k race in Hyde Park, sponsored by Bupa.[1] This format continued in 2008 with a new event for 8-to-14-year-olds, a 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi) run allowing children to run in fancy dress.
In 2009, the main race was reduced to 5k and moved to Regent's Park.[citation needed] This was the final Great Capital Run.
