Loughton Contracts to Take On Iconic “Run The Wharf” 5K Night Race

We’re excited to announce that Loughton Contracts will be taking part in this year’s Run The Wharf, London’s closed-road night race, taking place at Canary Wharf on Wednesday 4th September 2025.

This unique 5K race, hosted by London Marathon Events, Friday Night Lights, and the Canary Wharf Group, offers an unforgettable evening of sport, lights, and celebration right in the heart of London’s financial district. With 25 members of our team lacing up, it promises to be a fantastic show of teamwork, energy, and determination.

The event brings together businesses and individuals across London for a high-energy evening of fitness, fun, and friendly competition — and we’re proud to be part of it.

For Loughton, Run The Wharf is more than just a race. It’s a great way to promote health and wellbeing across our business, while also strengthening the team spirit that underpins everything we do. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just giving it a go, everyone is welcome — and with 25 of our colleagues taking part, it’s one of our biggest team turnouts for a fitness event yet!

Run The Wharf isn’t just about running. After the race, participants and supporters are invited to enjoy an afterparty complete with music, food, drinks, recovery areas, and a buzzing event village — the perfect way to wind down and celebrate everyone’s efforts.

We’ll be sharing photos and highlights from the night, so keep an eye on our channels in early September. If you would like to come along and cheer on the team you are more than welcome!

Until then — good luck to all runners and let’s Run The Wharf in true Loughton style!
