The route
This 3.5km route will begin, in Paternoster Square just by St Paul’s Cathedral. You will run down to the Thames Path and then along the North Embankment, enjoying the world-famous views of the Globe Theatre, The Shard, and the Millenium Bridge.
You will then pass through the City of London, running along the Thames’s hidden paths, towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.
You will then return through the City, via Cannon Street. Finally, take in the views of the beautifully lit St Paul’s Cathedral, before turning into Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!
As we approach the winter, your support is more vital than ever. The funds you raise could help The Passage to change, or even save a life this winter – as the cold weather poses a threat to anyone that is rough sleeping.
