Now in its ninth year, this huge annual fundraiser has made the second Sunday in July all its own. Thousands of participants gather together at Hyde Park Corner to run the course which heads down Piccadilly and Pall Mall to Trafalgar Square, along the Embankment to the City, taking in St Paul's and Tower Bridge, and finally back to Whitehall, looping past the London Eye on the way. The runners are joined by a bunch of celebrities and athletics champions. Both Steve Cram and Haile Gebrselassie have participated in previous races. Ten kilometres is a fair distance but by no means impossible even if you're not really in shape. If you fancy the challenge of racing against 26,000 fellow Londoners, drop them a line or visit www.theBritish10klondon.co.uk.
