The challenge

Join 2500 walkers and trek 25km across the capital with unrivalled views of the skyline and landmarks, all while fundraising for Alzheimer's Society! 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 and drinks. 

25km later, beyond the majestic Tower Bridge, there’s a party style finish line celebration and 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 and drink, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish. With a 10km option also available, there’s a Thames Walk for everyone!

The route

• 25km from Bishops Park, Fulham to Southwark Park, east and central London.
• 10km crosses Millennium Bridge, Southwark Bridge, London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
