Kick off Solar & Storage Live London with energy!

Before the exhibition halls open and the sessions begin, kick off your Solar & Storage Live London experience with the SSL London 5K Run . Held the afternoon before day 1, it’s the perfect way to get moving, clear your head, and connect with fellow attendees and exhibitors in a relaxed, informal setting.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun jog, everyone is welcome. Lace up, meet new people, and set the pace for two action-packed days at ExCeL.

Charity Partner: We’re thrilled to be teaming up with SolarAid to bring you the SSL London 5K Fun Run.
