About the event
Join Team Macmillan for this iconic Ultra Challenge event and make a difference in the lives of people living with cancer. There are two different treks to choose from: Thames Bridges Trek or the Thames Bridges Moonlight Walk.
Thames Bridges Trek
Join 2000 trekkers as we venture 25km across the Capital taking in unrivalled views of the skyline from its best vantage points. With full support every step of the way from our team, with free food & drinks and a great atmosphere. Follow the path of England’s most famous river, and take in the views from some of the most iconic bridges in the world.
Thames Bridges Moonlight Walk
The Moonlight 10 Walk kicks off the famous Thames Path Challenge weekend festival of riverside events! Take on either a spirited 10 km or an energetic 10-mile looped route walk through the heart of London as darkness falls and the Moon rises.
Experience London in a different light, passing famous landmarks – including St Paul’s, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, the London Eye and more. A lively finish line awaits – with a glass of fizz & a special Moon medal – followed by some welcome hot food & drink.
