Mud, cakes, sweat & abseiling

Escape your desk in 2022 by flinging yourself into the air or scrambling through mud!

The London Legal Support Trust (LLST), which raises funds for legal advice charities by organising the annual London Legal Walk and other events, is adding a roster of adventurous activities to its portfolio this year. In March, take on the UK’s highest freefall abseil, at the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London. In April, try the Kew 10K and enjoy the rare opportunity of running through London’s Kew Gardens.

In May, get down and dirty with 5K and 10K places available for the Spartan Races. In September, run a half marathon or/and cycle from London to Brighton. The LLST also holds a range of less physical fundraising activities, from the Great Legal Bake to the Great Legal Quiz. See: Londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.
