Royal Parks Foundation ULTRA marathon

Race Day 06.10.13

There’s 50km in front of you. It’s time to go the Ultra mile.

Sign up to the Royal Parks Foundation Ultra and get ready to take on your biggest and most inspiring running challenge yet!

Taking place on Sunday 6 October 2013 for its second year, and starting alongside the multi-award winning Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon, this challenging and inspiring route includes five of the eight Royal Parks, the river Thames and many of London’s world-famous landmarks.

Racing off from Hyde Park, along three miles of closed roads, you’ll run past famous sights such as Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. As you follow the towpath, it winds towards south west London and the magnificent rolling Richmond Park landscape. You’ll cross the finish line in the beautiful Bushy Park elated, exhausted, euphoric!
