About the event
The stunning 13.1-mile route takes in many of the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
The route is on a generally flat course making it perfect for both beginners and experienced runners chasing a personal best. What’s more, by running as part of Team St John’s, you will be helping us to provide quality, holistic care when it is needed most.
"It was an amazing day and knowing that I helped raise over £800 is even better. It is a place I have worked many shifts as a nurse. Seeing the work the team does every day, the relationships built and the support they give to the community, well...I am proud to be a part of it and to support them in this special way."
Sandra, Runner.
