Run the Thames Bridges
Overview
Run a half marathon or 10k over the Thames bridges on a self-guided audio tour, triggered by your GPS.
We challenge you to run with us over 17 of the Thames bridges (11 on the 10k route) in a unique self-guided audio tour that takes you from Tower Bridge to Putney or Vauxhall.
With 17 or 11 bridges in total, your GPS location will trigger directions, along with audio commentary that celebrates the history of the glorious River Thames, its bridges and the development of our capital along its banks.
As you cross over every bridge possible along the route, you'll enjoy some of the best views of London, discover their history and get a unique training run in the bag.
Sign up today and take on the challenge at any time between now and 31st October 2024 with an optional finisher medal upon completion.
