About the Tree-Athlon
About the Tree-Athlon
The Tree-Athlon is a fantastic fun-filled family festival full to the brim with races, activities, live music, food, drink and entertainment. The main event is the 5K fun run through the beautiful tree lined paths of Battersea Park that leads straight into the Tree-Athlon festival village.
Focused around our vintage solar powered VW campervan stage the Tree-Athlon village is packed full of fun activities for the whole family. Expect the unexpected from live music and silly games to a World Record attempt, nature arts and crafts and our magical golden face painting caravan!
Plus everyone that takes part gets a limited edition T-shirt (last year's was designed by fashion icon Giles Deacon) and their very own sapling that they can take home and plant.

Entertainment for all the family
See our skills in action with Chris Collins, the Blue Peter gardener. Join us on a guided tree walk or come and plant some seeds for yourself.
In 2011 street artists Miss Led created a giant piece of street art that children and race participants can add to on the day. We’re working on another exciting art project for this year, so watch out for more updates!
