A great event to walk off the Christmas celebrations, and to kick start your New Year fitness regime!

There are full marathon, half marathon and 10km options, starting and finishing at the Oval Cricket Ground, London on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th January 2024. The route takes in highlights of the Thames, its historic bridges, and many of the capital’s key landmarks.

Families are welcome, and you’ll receive a free winter bobble hat and neck buff, rest stops with snacks, and a special medal and hot food at the finish.

My father passed away in January 2021 having suffered with dementia for a few years. We collected money for Dementia UK in lieu of flowers at the funeral, I thought it would be a good opportunity therefore to add to the money we had already collected by walking for Dementia UK
