Urban Jogs arrives at the Barbican and the Battle of Ideas!  Come and join a jog tour of the Barbican’s urban hinterland with runner and personal trainer Ade Aboaba and urbanist Michael Owens.

Starting and ending at the Barbican Centre, the 6.4 kilometre (4 mile) jog tour will combine a story of the Barbican’s development, and the areas nearby, with a decent cardiovascular workout.

It will be an energising start to your day, so if you’re comfortable running 11 minute miles then please come and join us! Including stops, stretches and exercises on route, the jog will last an hour.

"I thought the Battle of Ideas was wonderful. Especially the extent and quality of audience participation. I can't imagine how I missed this exciting forum for exchange of ideas in the past. I will certainly not miss another one and look forward already to 2012 Battle of Ideas."
Professor Marilyn Monk, emeritus professor of molecular embryology, University College London
