FAQs
Everything you need to know before the Big Startup 5k by Jumpstart.
Do I have to run to participate?
Absolutely not! This event is super non-competitive, so we encourage you to run or walk to bond as a team but spectators are also welcome to come and cheer in Battersea Park!
Will you have a Bag Drop?
There will be a small bag drop at the event but we expect this to be very busy so please avoid bringing bags if possible or bring a spectator to watch bags!
Can we register as a team?
Please do! You can register multiple teammates at once using our ticketing system with no team limit. Your company name will be your team!
When will the running start?
We’ll start welcoming Teams to the Bowling Green from 6PM. The Start line will open at 6.30PM and close at 8PM (to try to arrive early to avoid a rush!)
Will the race go ahead if it’s raining?
Rain or shine we’ll be ready to welcome your team so make sure to dress appropriately for the weather!
