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. This was the final Great Capital Run.
