Three reasons to take part in the Local Landmarks 10km
The Local Landmarks 10km is open to everyone of all ages and abilities from across the globe. Registration is 17.50 with all profits donated to Tommys, the UKs largest pregnancy and baby loss charity, to fund their pioneering research.
The Local Landmarks 10km is the brainchild of Tommys, who also organise the award-winning London Landmarks Half Marathon, and new for 2023, the London Landmarks Skyscraper Challenge, to benefit the entire charity sector. Over 3000 runners took place in the inaugural Local Landmarks in 2022 raising 70,000 for Tommys. Why not join them?
Race director Lia Fyles said: Not everyone can take part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon. The distance can be daunting for some, especially if they are new to running or perhaps building up their fitness. The Local Landmarks embodies the same fun, inclusive spirit of the LLHM.
Last years event showed that the shorter distance that people could walk, run or wheelchair really captured peoples imagination. I loved seeing everyones pictures of them taking part in the Local Landmarks, and how creative people got with mapping their 10km routes around their local area. I cant wait to see where people run to this year!
