About this event

Join 2000 trekkers as we venture 25 km across the capital taking in unrivalled views of the skyline from its best vantage points.

Setting out from Putney Bridge, it's East towards the City, zig-zagging over the array of historic bridges - each with its fascinating story - and a midpoint stop at Kennington Oval for some snacks and drinks. The finish line is 25 km later in Southwark past the majestic Tower Bridge.
