Run the River

Step up for schools. Take on a run that changes lives.

This isn’t just a 5K or 10K. It’s your chance to help break down barriers to education.

Too many children in England are held back simply because of where they’re growing up. By taking part in Run the River, you’re helping fund vital work in the schools and communities that need it most.

Whether you’re running along the Thames or running your own route, your miles help create a fairer future.

This year, the twilight run returns, where hundreds of supporters take in famous London landmarks along the banks of the Thames as we help every child fulfil their potential.

You and your fellow runners will be cheered across the finish line to receive your well-deserved finisher’s medal!
