Post – race snap
It’s not everyday you run a half marathon around London’s most beautiful parks. Why not have your sweaty, smiling face snapped after the race. Jog by the Nokia Log Cabin after the race get your victorious visage plastered on to the front page of the Metro – yours to take home and keep forever.

It can be hard finding people in crowds at the best of times, but throw in some fatigue induced dizziness and a few pulled muscles and it can become impossible. Why not arranged to meet your loved-ones at one of our woodland themed Meeting Points? See the map above.
