Organiser's Description
Run 7km through Bermondsey uncovering the incredibly badass women from its history along the way.
Tour Highlights
We'll be focusing on the events of 1911 when thousands of women from the area joined together to bring about much-needed change in this industrial part of town known as "London's larder". There aren't many statues of these women - but we'll be uncovering the remains of the places that were key to their movement on this tour.
Hopefully most of the inspiring women that you discover on this tour will be new, but you may recognise some of the names of the factories involved, including Hartley's Jam, Cross & Blackwell, Pink's Jam and Peak Frearn.
Pace
Tuesday 3rd March - if you usually run this distance in sub 11 minute miles (that’s just under 7 minute kilometers)
Tuesday 24th March - if you usually run this distance gentler than 11 minute miles - join this tour if you’re worried about pace. No one gets left behind, and we will introduce some short walking intervals to the tour, alongside gentle jogging, if anyone is struggling.
Guide
Vanessa, Founder of Secret London Runs, will be leading this tour. She’s been giving women’s history tours on the run for the last 10 years.
