LONDON WINTER WALK 2025
About the London Winter Walk
A great event to wrap up and walk off the Christmas & New Year celebrations; maybe kick start a new fitness regime - and to fundraise for your favourite charity! There are Full Marathon (26 miles), Half Marathon (13 miles) & 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.
