2008 British 10k Run.

The 2007 British 10k run was a fantastic success, raising over £6000 for the Winnicott Baby Unit. The day itself with very enjoyable with the team in high spirits and benefiting from the training sessions in Hyde Park (in fact the training runs were so successful that we continued doing them on a weekly basis after the 10k). Many thanks to Asics for kindly donating water bottles for our team and to St Mary’s gym for allowing our team to use their facilities in the build-up to the event.

The 2008 British 10k on the 6th of July starts at Piccadilly, heads along the Embankment via Trafalgar Square, across Westminster Bridge before finishing at Buckingham Palace. It’s a scenic route past some of the most iconic and breathtaking landmarks in England. 10k is an achievable and rewarding distance for all levels of fitness and the event itself is terrific fun.

Mazda London Triathlon & Run to the Beat Half Marathon
Following on the from the success of the 10k, we’ve secured places in some more challenging events, the Mazda London Triathlon and the Run to the Beat Half Marathon.

Taking place on Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th of August, the Mazda London Triathlon features a swim, then a cycle section then a run over your choice distance; super sprint, sprint and Olympic. Depending on how fit you’re feeling you can do the entire triathlon or enter as a team where you each do a separate stage. Completing a triathlon of any distance is a remarkable feat and we will do our best to provide you with all the support you need.

The Run to the Beat Half Marathon is a part run, part music festival event in Greenwich on Sunday the 5th of October. Starting and finishing at the O2 centre, the 13 mile course lined with music stations and passing through three Olympic venues. As the half-marathon is in October it gives us plenty of time to prepare, plus with the carnival atmosphere and events running through into the evening, if you don’t feel you can run, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring the family on a lovely day out and cheer our team along.
