Runners race London Tube on District and Circle lines

Runners race London Tube on District and Circle lines

Londoners are known for being on the go but these three runners are taking it to the next level.

Video shows a race between three runners and their fastest competitor yet - the Tube.

The epic race begins at the Mansion House stop on the District and Circle line, ending at the next underground station Cannon Street.

The runners must exit the train at Mansion House, running outside in order to catch the same train at the Cannon Street stop.

It's a journey that takes approximately two minutes on the Tube.   

The footage, which was taken on July, 30 at 11am, begins with the runners waiting for the train underground at Monument station. 

Arriving at Mansio n House, the runners take off - climbing up stairs, through the ticket barrier and then outdoors.

Now in the fresh air, the runners sprint toward Cannon Street, avoiding the few pedestrians that brave Central London over the weekend.

They make a turn to get on Cloak Lane, putting themselves in direct line of the Cannon Street station entrance.

At one minute and 25 seconds they arrive at the station's ticket barrier - racing down the stairs in anticipation of the train's arrival.

One of them appears to slip while going down the stairs, grasping onto the railing for balance.

They made it! The three runners, pictured, manage to catch the same train that they left at Mansion House, having raced it in a journey that takes approximately two minutes

When the train arrives at Cannon Street - at exactly two minutes - the three runners go flying into one of the cars, one of them collapsing with exhaustion.

It's high fives all around.
