Location: London, Putney Bridge – Tower Bridge
Join 2500 walkers and trek 25 km across the Capital with unrivalled views of the skyline & landmarks! From a Putney Bridge start it’s East towards the City, zigzagging over 16 historic bridges, each with a fascinating story – and a mid-point rest stop at The Oval Cricket Ground for snacks & drinks. 25 km later, beyond the majestic Tower Bridge, it’s a party style finish line celebration & afternoon picnic in Southwark Park.
Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish. With a 10km option also available – there’s a fabulous Thames Walk for you!
Please remember to select Battersea Dogs & Cats Home as your chosen charity when registering.
