Get your walking shoes on and explore some of the Capital’s less known historic areas with a tour of the ‘gateway to London’ along the Thames’s eastern section – and fundraise for your favourite charity. Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Barracks (short walk from Elizabeth Line, DLR, & Overground) – there’s a marathon looped route, which heads into the heart of the Capital – alongside a 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, rest stops with snacks & drinks, and capped with a BBQ meal, bar & music at the finish, making for a wonderful active end of summer celebration!
- Marathon Challenge (42km loop) Heads through the Woolwich Tunnel, and along the ‘Capital Ring’ & ‘Greenway’ to the Olympic Park. It’s down to the Thames via the Lee Valley Walk to Limehouse, past The Tower of London and across The Thames over Tower Bridge. Back along the Thames – southside – all the way past the Cutty Sark and a rest stop at the Old Naval College. Then along the Thames to the Greenwich Peninsular, past the O2, past the Thames Barrier, through Charlton, and back up to basecamp in Woolwich, where a big cheer, medal, glass of fizz, T shirts and BBQ meal await!
- 25 km Loop Challenge – from our Woolwich basecamp adjacent to the Barracks – around the Greenwich Peninsular – along the Thames Path – and into Docklands. Back to Woolwich via the foot tunnel. Rest stop en route with snacks & drinks – finishers BBQ.
- 10K Walk – if you’re after something a bit shorter!
