British 10K London Run
On Sunday 14th July, thousands of competitors will put on their running shoes and venture across London as they partake in the UK’s most prestigious road race, the British 10K London Run.
Widely regarded as the ‘world’s greatest road race route’, this popular 10K attracts more than 25,000 runners every year. 2013 runners will cover ground that was part of the route used for the Olympic marathons last summer, and as ever there are many iconic sights to behold as participant’s battle their way around a course famed for its elegant surroundings.
Notable landmarks the runners will pass include St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace. Visit the British 10K London Run website and sneak a glimpse at the full list of amazing attractions – it’s fair to say the scenery along this route does not disappoint!
All 18 spots for this year's British 10K London Run have been filled. If you are still eager to race for us, get in touch and we can add you to our reserve runners.

The Food Chain will stand out from a sea of sponsored runners by wearing a bright green running vests, and the race stewards will ensure they stay safe, hydrated and entertained throughout the run.
There is nothing to stop you from running the race of your life; all it takes is one completed form sent to The Food Chain and [maybe just a little] training! Not only this, but there is significant satisfaction to be taken from fundraising for us; the money you raise will go towards improving our services and helping people living with HIV get well, and stay well.
