Battersea Park Running Festival Marathon - November
Date: 23rd Nov 2024
Minimum Age: 17
Battersea Park London SW11 4NJ
Battersea Park is one of London’s most picturesque parks and has been a favourite course for those wanting to run a PB! The course is totally flat, offering the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a personal best. Starting at the Millennium Arena, the marathon course follows 10 laps of the park before finishing back on the Athletics Track, under the Iconic RunThrough Gantry! The Lapped course makes it easy to follow and great for any spectators to catch you flying around the course.
As always with RunThrough, you will each get a themed medal, water and post race snacks on the day. Each mile is accurately marked out with signposts and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and to encourage you on your way to the finish. Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!
Learn to Love to Read is a small charity targeting socially disadvantaged children within Wandsworth who are struggling to develop the core skill of literacy. Research shows low literacy is linked to poverty and social exclusion and that making children confident readers is the easiest way to improve their life opportunities. To work towards our vision of making “every child a reader’ we provide reading materials, organise early literacy classes (0–4-year-olds), deliver regular parent talks and workshops and offer weekly one-to-one support to primary-age children to improve reading skills and build confidence.
