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!
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.
Choose your challenge and do it at your pace. The level of support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors, camaraderie, and the challenge. There are marquee rest stops, lots of food and drink, medical and massage teams, with a fully signed route to guide you.
A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.

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