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.

Cost: Free. To book, or for more info, please email ade@ade-aboaba.com
