About the London Summer Walk
Starting alongside the Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks, this 50k looped route heads through Charlton, along the Thames Path and around the Greenwich Peninsula.
You'll go past the O2, the Old Royal Naval College and the Cutty Sark. Then onwards through central London – crossing the Thames via the Millenium footbridge. It’s then past the Tower of London, and on to the Olympic Park, before returning to Woolwich via the foot tunnel.
There's a 25k and 10k loop option too.
A route steeped in history with iconic sights, and capped with a BBQ and bar at the finish – this will make for a wonderful end of summer celebration.
All levels of experience are welcome. Join as an individual, team or as a family.
This event is walking only. No jogging or running is allowed.
