The Vitality London 10,000 guides you through the city, passing its most famous landmarks. You'll pass Admiralty Arch, Nelson’s Column, St Paul’s Cathedral, Mansion House, the Bank of England, the Old Bailey, Somerset House, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey on your way to the finish line on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.
Everyone who completes their 10K will receive a finisher’s medal and New Balance T-shirt.
Every year thousands of runners take part in this event and fundraise for charity. While this is hugely beneficial to the charities it gives the runner advantages too, from supporting a cause that is close to your heart to securing a place in this highly sought-after event and much more.
Committing to raising money for charity gives you motivation to get outside and run, plus all of these extras which will elevate your event experience:
Charities know that raising money is all part of the challenge, which is why they provide advice, branded materials and a personalised online fundraising page to help the donations roll in. Think videos for social media, branded imagery and testimonials from previous runners.
Whether this is your first run or your fifth, you'll need to train for it! You'll receive an in-depth training plan with guidance, plus many charities have access to expert coaches and elite runners too, who can provide exclusive tips for your race preparation. Experts include Runningwithus, Full Potential and Olympic champs.
When you show up on the day, people need to be able to see clearly that you're supporting a charity. Most charities will give you a branded and personalised t-shirt or vest to run in on the big day, and often a training top too.
When you're partway through your run and your energy is flagging, what you need is a boost from cheering spectators to keep you moving. Many charities set up a cheer station along the route, keeping an eye out for you to send up a huge cheer as you run past!
Refreshments and an indulgent post-race sports massage are often provided by charities for their runners. This is the perfect way to recover alongside other people who have run for that cause.
You won't be the only person running for that charity, so it's well worth meeting other runners through the charity's invite-only social media pages! You can organise to meet up for training runs, chat with the charity's expert coaches and share tips and stories with each other to keep the motivation levels running high.
Charities buy places in this event, then give them to runners who agree to raise money for the charity – these are called charity places. Charity places are a great way to support a good cause and get a place in the event, especially if general/ballot entries are closed.

This is the second year running I have taken part in this race. Being slightly cooler this year was a huge bonus. It's a privilege being able to run on closed roads in London. Any chance I get to run in London, I will. Thanks for a great day, see you next year! Julie Laing
Really enjoyed this 10,000. The waves worked well and had no problems getting in on time. The atmosphere was great and relaxed. Marshall’s were lovely on course and the bands all the way round kept me going. Lovely to be able to run on the streets of London. Would definitely do this again. Lorraine Smith
This is my second year running the Vitality London 10,000 and on the whole it remains a top tier 10k event. The course through central London is a good one with great support throughout. Due to the event village being located in Green Park, getting to the start line is incredibly easy via public transport and the location is something you wouldn't be able to experience outside of the London Marathon.

This was my first 10K race and it was a fantastic experience the route was great with lots of local support to keep us all going! The volunteers were great!! Loving my medal!! Lisa B
Great day, great race, great event! Nathan W
Super cool run through London; enjoyed this one a lot. As you'd expect it was well-organised and well attended. Chris F
absolutely loved this race. I was bowled over by the sheer number of runners and spectators. Huge crowds but the event was so brilliantly run that it didn't feel disorganised at all. Lovely route, similar to other central London runs, but the Buckingham Palace finish makes it unique. Excellent marshalls and volunteers with perfectly placed water stations. My R
