The Challenge

A great event to wrap up and walk o^ the Christmas & New Year celebrations; maybe kick start a new fitness regime - and to fundraise for your favourite charity! There are Full Marathon, Half Marathon & 10km distance options – and an accessible ‘Family Fun 5K’ 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, or as an individual and families are welcome. There’s rest stops with snacks & drinks, a special medal, and hot food back at the finish before you head home.

Push yourself further – and take on a 10km, 21km, or 42km Ultra Challenge in 2026.

42km loop heads East along the Thames to a Rest Stop at Rotherhithe, West along the Thames taking in some of its historic bridges to a Rest Stop in Parsons Green – before heading back to The Oval finish line

21km route heads East, south of the River Thames past Westminster, the London Eye & many iconic sights of the city, before a half way stop at Rotherhithe. Then looping north of the river, back towards The Oval.

10km route heads along the Thames through the heart of the Capital
