If you live outside the UK, you’ll need to collect your Event Pack from Marathon House, 190 Great Dover Street, London, SE1 4YB during the following times:

The route will take you from Creek Road towards Depftord, before doubling back through Greenwich to the Finish Line at the Cutty Shark.

It will take between six and 20 minutes to reach the Finish Line. If you’re intending to run, head towards the front of the group at the Start Line. If you’re intending to jog or walk, please go to the back.

Arrive ready to go and only bring items that you’re able to run, jog or walk with as we can’t look after your belongings.

There are toilets at the Start Area.

Safety & security

Please ensure everyone you’re taking part with has their emergency contact filled in on the backs of their bib numbers.

If a child gets separated from their designated adult, our welfare team will keep them at the Child Meeting Point which will be detailed in your Event Guide.
