FANTASTIC VIRTUAL EVENTS

"I did the Virtual Gin Run in June and had a blast. I love the very supportive community and it was so much fun to see all the other finisher pics. Never thought that doing virtual events could be that much fun."

MOTIVATIONAL COMMUNITY OF SECRET LONDON RUNNERS

"Since lockdown for COVID-19 started in March 2020 in the UK, I feared for my exercise options. Secret London Runs has stepped up to the challenge to engage and challenge the community. I’ve taken part in several virtual themed 5k and 10k runs, which are well organized with medals and gear sent via the post, and a fantastic Facebook group to share pics and stories."

CHRISTMAS RACE BIB

Just before the event starts on the 1st December we will allocate you your unique BIB number and email it to you so you can print it off at home.

It isn't compulsory, but all adds to the fun of the event, plus whilst out on your run or walk it might encourage others to give you a little cheer. Here's what our pal Rudolph's bib looks like.
