Take part in one of the UK’s most festive running events for The Forward Trust.
Time to dust off your Santa hat and lace up your running shoes for this ultra fun, silly and madcap 5km in the heart of London!
With a circular race route that covers St Paul’s Cathedral and then across Blackfriars Bridge, you'll get to take in the world-famous views of Tower Bridge, The Shard of London, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The mid-point stages take you over Southwark Bridge and join the Thames Path, where you will head towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge before heading back with the home straight taking you over Millennium Bridge, past St Paul's Cathedral and towards the finish line in Paternoster Square. It's an iconic and inclusive run route designed for people of all ages and abilities.
If you want a light-hearted race event that is relatively flat, a choice of walking or running (or both) and raise money for a good cause then this is for you!.
