Thames Path Challenge

Date: 13-14 September 2025 
Location: London, Putney Bridge – Henley

Take on the Thames Path Challenge following England's greatest river. Most will walk, many will jog, some will run, and all have special reasons to push themselves.

The full Thames Path Challenge 100km route heads from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to Runnymede of Magna Carta at 50km, then on past wonderful historic scenery all the way to Henley. With 75km three-quarter, 50km half challenge, or 25km challenge options - there's a challenge for everyone. Your challenge will be a test of spirit and determination.

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
