The course is totally flat, offering the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a personal best. Starting and finishing at the Parks Bandstand this course laps the park making it easy to follow and great for any spectators to catch you flying around the course.

Why run for The Connection?
The Connection at St Martin’s supports people experiencing homelessness in London to move away from, and stay off, the streets for good.
We get to know each person we work with and support them to tackle the challenges that led to homelessness — whether that’s poor mental health, isolation, addiction, trauma or unemployment.
From a warm welcome and hot meal to specialist advice and long-term support, we walk alongside people every step of the way towards a safer, more stable future.
