There are less than three weeks to go until the annual Lexus Croydon 10K comes to town.
The well-established race, hosted by Croydon Harriers athletics club, will be taking place on Sunday October 18 and normally attracting a field of nearly 500 runners.
Previous winners of the race include two-time Olympian Lee Troop, former indoor world finalist James Thie, and most recently GB junior international cross-country representative Peter Chambers.
The race often attracts some of the best athletes in the region and starts at Lloyd Park Avenue before heading out to Sandilands and the surrounding area.
There is also a corporate team challenge with squads from Trinity School and Southwark Council already entered.
Prizes are on offer for all age groups from junior men and women to veterans aged 70 and above.
For budding young athletes there is the 3km fun run which always proves a popular event for nine to 14-year-olds.
