Asics British 10K London

8 July 2012

Join thousands of others through the streets of London on one amazing day! If the sound of running with 25,000 people through the heart of London sounds like a good idea, the British 10K run might just be for you.

This is one of the most popular running events around at the moment, and it’s easy to see why. The route takes you past many of central London's famous landmarks including St James's Palace, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge, the London Eye, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.

Couple this with some brass bands, an electric atmosphere and a huge amount of cheering from the never ending rows of spectators, and you have the makings of a truly memorable day. Over the past few years this event has been completely sold out and places for the 2012 are going fast.

Why Run for the British Skin Foundation?

  • You will be raising vital amounts of money for research to find cures for numerous skin diseases.

  • A team of us will be there to cheer you on the big day, and at the post race reception where you'll get some well earned snacks and drinks, and a chance to meet the BSF!

What our runners have said..."A really emotional experience and people cheered all the way to the finish line. It was such a sense of achievement, especially for someone who doesn’t normally do much running at all!" Janice, BSF British 10K runner 2011

“An amazing day, it wasn’t easy, but the training certainly helped and the crowds made such a difference. Having the BSF there cheering for us and the post race reception really made a difference.” Raj, BSF British 10K runner 2011
