Walkers and runners will take in some of London’s finest views at the 16th annual charity event
The date has been announced for the 16th annual London Legal Support Trust Walk the Thames, and this year’s event will be the longest and most scenic so far.
Taking place on Saturday 5 October, walkers and runners will be supporting access to justice, raising money to help ensure everyone has access to life-changing free legal advice.
The morning half and full marathons will be led by Lord Justice Haddon-Cave. Early risers can start the challenge at 9am from Tower Bridge, and walk/run the full marathon to Hampton Court, or stop at the half marathon distance in Putney.
In the afternoon, the half marathon will be led by Sir Peter Gross, starting in Putney at 12pm, and finishing at Hampton Court in the Prince of Wales pub.
Both routes take in some of London’s finest landmarks and pubs.
Since Walk the Thames began 16 years ago, nearly 2,000 walkers have raised an incredible £300,000, helping to provide a legal lifeline for people in times of crisis.
Sign up here to join this fantastic autumnal event.
