Overview

Run a half marathon or 10k over the Thames bridges on a self-guided audio tour, triggered by your GPS.

We challenge you to run with us over 17 of the Thames bridges (11 on the 10k route) in a unique self-guided audio tour that takes you from Tower Bridge to Putney or Vauxhall.​

With 17 or 11 bridges in total, your GPS location will trigger directions, along with audio commentary that celebrates the history of the glorious River Thames, its bridges and the development of our capital along its banks.

As you cross over every bridge possible along the route, you'll enjoy some of the best views of London, discover their history and get a unique training run in the bag.

Sign up today and take on the challenge at any time between now and 31st October 2024 with an optional finisher medal upon completion.

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
