Hello Everyone! First off… thank you so much for showing interest in the Run the Boroughs Challenge! I am still early days in training but your support is giving me some much needed motivation!
The Challenge
Run every borough in London over a weekend (with your help!). 160km in total.
When
I am setting to do the challenge the weekend of August 6 and 7th. Will be starting quite early as it will be about 9 hours of running each day!
What Can YOU Do
Run a borough with me!
Tell people about the challenge– always looking for more helpers/runners!

If you happen to know a sports masseuse who is willing to make house calls, send them my way!
Running Your Borough
I have broken down the race into 4 sections, covering 2 sections a day. I will list the boroughs I am running in order and also provide a link to the Google Map on the next page-with your name next to the borough you said you’d like to run with me. Email me at moosenshoes@gmail.com with your name and borough of choice.
I have mapped out a route in every borough with one of two ideas:
- I start the next run right after
- I end near a method of public transportation which I can then take to the next run
Basically the run would go down like this:
- I met you at the start of the run
- You take me on a run of your lovely borough and have a chat (yes this means you are in charge of leading!) This will not be fast, think 10-12 minute mile pacing!
- At the end, we shake hands, get a selfie (maybe I give you a token of appreciation in the form of a button or buff) and I head off to my next run
