Time: 9-5pm, 8am rendezvous
Location: London (Tower Bridge, Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf, Arsenal, Stoke Newington, St John’s Wood, Mile End and Kennington)

(Member blog post) Richmond Park Marathon – Laura’s Race Report
While I haven’t been able to train with you all, I have been running on my own and a few months ago entered the first ever Richmond Park Marathon which took place Sunday May 15th. (Essentially 3 and a half rather hilly laps of Richmond Park limited to 300 runners). I’m happy to say I had a really good race.
