The Route

CLICK MAP TO ENLARGE

Your Santa Run 4.5km route will begin, in front of The Founders Arms and just outside the Tate Modern. You will run along the Thames Embankment, enjoying the world-famous views of the City of London, St Pauls Cathedral, and the Millenium Bridge.

You will then pass the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and then turn towards Southwark Bridge, cross over the bridge and then hug the north embankment, going through the Thames's hidden paths, running towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

You will then return through the City, back over Southwark Bridge to Bankside. After another 500m, you once again take in the views of St Paul's Cathedral and Millennium Bridge to the finish, where you started from, in front of the Tate Modern, completing a truly iconic route!

No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4.3km, relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk.
