About the event

Take in unrivalled views of London's iconic skyline and historic landmarks on this 25km route from west to central London. Setting out from Putney Bridge you'll head east towards the City, zig-zagging over the array of 16 historic bridges, each with its own fascinating story. Take a rest at the halfway point at The Oval Cricket Ground for some snacks & drinks before continuing to the finish line celebration in Southwark Park past the final crossing – the majestic Tower Bridge.
