Run the London Half and 10k at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and take the opportunity to race around this unique and iconic route! With the addition of a junior race, why not make this a fun day out for the entire family!
Both the Half Marathon and 10k races will start and finish on the iconic London Stadium’s Island alongside the Olympic Bell. Taking in almost every inch of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, home of the 2012 London Olympics, this course is guaranteed to inspire you. Each mile is accurately marked out with distance flags and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and to encourage you on your way to the finish.
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.
