7/8 SEPT

Over 2,000 keen Challengers will take on the main Thames Path Challenge following England's greatest river - most will be walking, many will jog, some will be running, and all will have a special reason to push themselves. Our full 100km route heads upstream from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to Runnymede of Magna Carta fame at 50km, then on past wonderful river-side scenery all the way to Henley.

With some training and determination you'll be amazed at what you can achieve!
