Sign up now for this year’s Walk the Thames event, taking place on 5 October

The annual event, organised by London Legal Support Trust, raises vital funds for free legal advice agencies.

There will be three choices on the day. Lord Justice Haddon-Cave heads up the morning walk, starting at Tower Bridge at 9am and finishing at Putney (for the half-marathon) or continuing to Hampton Court for the full marathon. Sir Peter Gross leads the afternoon half-marathon, from Putney at 12 noon and finishing at Hampton Court.

As the team at Hammersmith & Fulham Law Centre say, ‘It is a great cause and a fantastic event, and we want to be part of it’. More than 50 teams have already signed up. Join them by signing up here.
