McGoohan 12 Nov 4:30pm, 12 Nov 2024 54,705 posts	0 McGoohan That's a good opportunity to say - I was thinking this, being the tenth anniversary - should run the original route - but with some caveats. The original starts at City Hall/Tower Bridge and is 15 miles over 16 bridges. That's quite a tall order for some so I suggest a three-distance option So I suggest 1. there's an early start at Tower Bridge - so 15 miles to Hammersmith 2. then meet up with anyone wishing a slightly later start around Westminster with about 10 miles to go 3. then meet up a bit later on still around Wandsworth with about five miles to go
kstuart 12 Nov 4:34pm, 12 Nov 2024 5,217 posts	0 kstuart I'm fine with 15 miles as thats a pretty decent training run at that time of year. What sort of pace do you usually bimble along at?
ChrisHB 12 Nov 4:57pm, 12 Nov 2024 23,269 posts	0 ChrisHB As one of the original participants I might be happy to walk the 15 miles but only if others want to. It would mean setting off at 08:00 or so. I see I took 3:23 ten years ago and in the same month ran in Brighton, Loughborough, Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Hastings. Some of those runs feel like yesterday.
