The Sabi Sweat Summer Games is not your typical sports day — it’s a community-powered, culture-rich celebration of movement, mindset, and joy.
Picture an Olympic-standard track turned into a festival space. Music, food, laughter, connection. A day that’s less about medals and more about motion.
We’re here for the everyday athlete — the new mum, the big sister, the retired uncle, the 8-year-old dreamer, the group of friends just showing up to move. No pressure. No perfection. Just presence.
This isn’t just a day out.
It’s a homecoming — for anyone who thought movement wasn’t for them.
Come as you are.
Bring your people.
Let’s move — and keep moving.
Info: All participants must check in at the welcome desk
Collect your bib number, and event materials
Explore:
– House Assignment Zone
– Wellness Tent & Affirmation Wall
– Food & hydration stalls
– Family picnic areas
Note: Arrive early to avoid queues and settle in before the games begin.
Info: We’ll officially begin with a high-energy community warm-up led by our event MC and house captains from Lee Valley Athletics. Expect uplifting music, house chants, and guided stretches that welcome all ages and ability levels. This moment is about coming together before the action begins — no competition, just connection.
Info: Children will take to the track in separate sprint heats by age category:
- 4–7 years: Up to 3 heats of 6–8 runners
- 8–11 years: Up to 3 heats of 6–8 runners
Each child receives a participation medal and plenty of cheers from our Sabi Sweat squad. These events are less about speed, more about confidence and fun.
Info: One of the most loved moments of the day. Grandparents and elders will walk one full lap of the track, greeted with applause, music, and joy. This isn’t a race — it’s a celebration of legacy and presence. Friends and family are encouraged to walk alongside or cheer from the sidelines.
Info: We move into intergenerational fun as parents line up for their sprint races, followed by teens. Each group will run two heats of 8 runners:
Parents Race: 2 mixed-gender heats
Teen Sprint: 2 age-based heats
Winners move forward for shoutouts and prizes, but the emphasis is on effort, joy, and movement.
Info: A crowd favourite. This race is split into separate men's and women’s categories, with each running three heats of 8 runners on the indoor track. These races are timed, and the top 2 finishers from each heat — plus the next 2 fastest overall — will advance to the final later in the day.
??♂️ Men's Heats: 3 x 8 runners
??♀️ Women’s Heats: 3 x 8 runners
Winners of the final will be crowned London’s Fastest — and receive a custom medal and bragging rights.
Info: It’s time to pause and pour back in. The Community Lunch Break runs from 2:50 PM to 3:50 PM and is all about recharging without rushing. Whether you're coming down from a race, preparing for team games, or just soaking in the day — this hour is for you.
Here’s what’s happening during this time:
? Food Service: Sweet Dee’s Jerk is serving up delicious meals — come early to avoid queues.
? Hydration Points: Refill water bottles and refresh.
? DJ Set: Our live DJ keeps the energy high with an uplifting mid-day set.
? Spot Prizes & Shoutouts: We’ll highlight standout moments, cheer for participants, and keep the love flowing from the stage.
? Wellness Zones Open: Add to the graffiti mural, write on the affirmation board, or relax in the Recharge Tent.
It’s a moment to refuel not just your body, but your joy.
We’ll reconvene for games right after — rested and ready.
