About the London Winter Walk Challenge
There are 5km, 10km, Full and Half Marathon distance options – with the ‘Family Fun 5K’ walk on the Sunday. All routes start & finish at The Oval Cricket Ground, and take in highlights of the Thames, its historic bridges, and many of the Capital’s landmarks.
Sign up as a team, as a family or as an individual and join Team Breathe. There’s rest stops with snacks & drinks, a special medal, and hot food back at the finish line before you head home!
