Event overview

Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks (a short walk from the Elizabeth Line, DLR, and Overground) – there is a new marathon looped route for this year which heads into the heart of the capital alongside the existing 25km option taking in Greenwich and a 10km option if you’re after something a bit shorter.

Routes steeped in history with iconic sights, a lively warm up, full support all the way, and capped with a hot meal, bar and music at the finish – making for a wonderful end-of-summer celebration!

A great experience, which I thoroughly enjoyed, already looking to book again!

The whole experience of walking round London but with the sunrise over Tower Bridge was brilliant.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
