Beat The Boys is a global race series built for women who line up to compete, not to make up the numbers. The brief is simple: beat more boys than you did last time.
Every race is a closed-road, full-send night out. A squad in matching bibs, a real start line, real results, and a party at the finish. We'll tell you exactly how many boys you beat. Then we go again.

We took the first all-female Beat The Boys team to Run The Wharf in 2026. In 2027 we're going back, and we're going bigger. The UK's biggest closed-road 5K night race: thousands of runners, London's roads shut down, dusk til dark through Canary Wharf. The perfect place to beat the boys.
Race 01 is in the books. On 3 September 2026 the first all-female Beat The Boys team lined up at Run The Wharf, put the boys behind them, and partied at the finish. Now we go again.
Missed it, or ran it and want more? The 2027 squad is open. Same roads, same night, more of us.
Beat The Boys is built from the women who show up. Pick a question, hit record, and tell us why you run — in your own words. 90 seconds, one take, no polish needed.
