Winter Walk: Sat 24 & Sun 25 January 2026
Get those walking boots out, wrap up, stretch the legs and get active in the New Year with a couple of thousand like-minded adventurers.
This event has plenty of outdoors space and has staggered timings over one day, to ensure social distancing measures can be implemented. On Saturday & Sunday there are 2 distance options–Full Marathon & Half Marathon–with both starting & finishing at The Oval Cricket Ground near Vauxhall. The routes take in highlights of the Thames and its historic bridges, and many of the Capital’s major landmarks. This is a Winter Walk for everyone – and it will be one to remember.
