London Winter Walk

Take on the London Winter Walk, organised by Ultra Challenge, and start the year with an unforgettable challenge while raising money for Terrence Higgins Trust.

Choose from a Full Marathon, Half Marathon or 10K Challenge and explore some of London's most iconic sights. Starting and finishing at The Oval Cricket Ground, the routes follow the Thames and take in historic bridges and famous landmarks across the capital.

All routes start and finish at the Oval Cricket Ground, and take in highlights of the River Thames, London’s historic bridges and many of the capital’s most eye-catching landmarks. There are rest stops with snacks and drinks, and a special medal and hot food at the finish before you head home.

Whether you're looking for a new fitness goal, a day out with friends and family, or a chance to raise money for a great cause, there's a London Winter Walk for you.
