A special long run excursion with Track and Towpath, celebrating the opening of the Thames Path near King Edward's Memorial Park and by Blackfriars Bridge.

Run leader Simon will be setting off from Cabot Square, Canary Wharf after 7pm, and together we will follow the Thames to Battersea Park.

Approximate pacing will be 10 min / miles or 6 minutes / km, but generally favouring a relaxed, chat friendly pace.

Full distance from Canary Wharf to Battersea Power Station will be just over 8 miles.

However, we can also stop near Embankment tube station for those looking to stop at 4.5 miles instead.


THAMES CLIPPER RETURN JOURNEY

To celebrate a successful run together, we will enjoy a Thames Clipper boat trip back to Canary Wharf together. Come and observe the night time river views along the Thames!

Food and refreshments available at Battersea Power Station, on Thames Clipper and / or at Canary Wharf.
