Why run with us?

Our eight Royal Parks are some of Britain’s most loved green spaces, covering 5,000 acres and enjoyed by more than 77 million people a year - from local Londoners to visitors from around the globe.

The parks provide essential quiet spaces for people to escape the pressures of daily life, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and discover the wonders of the natural world. They've been a part of London's identity for hundreds of years.

Your fundraising will help us to care for the parks, conserving their natural landscapes and keeping them accessible for everyone. Run with us to keep the Royal Parks beautiful and bursting with life for all to enjoy, for today and future generations!

The support you'll get

We like to look after our incredible team, giving you the VIP treatment you deserve! You’ll be provided with…

• A guaranteed charity race place
• A Team Royal Parks sustainable running vest
• A monthly e-newsletter with advice from experienced fundraisers and resources to help you hit your fundraising target, along with tips on training for your challenge
• Access to the exclusive Royal Parks' Marquee on race day with much needed refreshments, activities for your supporters, a massage, a big well done and thank you!
• Dedicated contact with our Team to keep you motivated and get you ready for race day
• The chance to run alongside Chester the Squirrel (just steer clear of his bushy tail!)

Please note that our places are in high demand and we therefore ask all runners to demonstrate their commitment to fundraising by raising at least £100 by 1st September 2022. Failure to do so could result in loss of your place.
