Anyone thinking of raising money for charity by running or walking will be spoilt for choice in London, with a wide range of events taking place throughout the year. The celebrated London Legal Walk will be held on Monday 21 May, with the 10km route attracting 12,000 walkers and raising £800,000 last year. Later in the year there is the chance to tackle the British 10k on 15 July, or even the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 14 October. The London Legal Support Trust will also be running Legal Walks outside the capital, with ten taking place across the South East.
