Route
Start between 0745 and 0845 from Waterloo (exact location to be confirmed). All entrants will receive a scannable identity card to present at each checkpoint and finish to track progress. Finish by 1900 at St Hugh’s Community Centre (42 Castledine Rd, London SE20 8PL). From the finish there is easy access to train stations at Crystal Palace, Penge West, and Anerley (overground lines with connections to tube stations)

Crossing the Thames from the South Bank, the 2023 route passes through six Royal Parks, starting with Victoria Tower Gardens and ending with Brompton Cemetery, whilst passing through Holland Park and several historic neighbourhoods along the way. It then re-crosses the Thames to wend through the parks, wooded areas and historically or architecturally interesting districts of Battersea, Clapham, Dulwich, and Sydenham, ending with a tour of Crystal Palace Park and a hot drink and cake to finish the day. As with the original route, this new route strikes a balance between well-known areas of the city and hidden treasures that are seldom visited, with a few surprises thrown in
