Organiser's description
2025 will be the 10th edition of the annual Run for Your Life event from Jubilee Hall Trust for runners of all abilities – including walkers and true beginners.
Setting off from the historic bandstand, you'll wind your way up to the peaks of the Heath - and discover trails in the woodlands at the foot of English Heritage's Kenwood House - before emerging at the top of your downward pathway.
As you fly down the hill, you'll cross the jaw-dropping viaduct and catch glimpses of the London skyline between the trees, eventually re-joining the main pathway for a glorious flat sprint finish next to the famous Parliament Hill fields athletics track.
Whether you're an elite 10K trail runner or a family with little ones, you'll be started in carefully managed waves to get the best experience. All participants are chip-timed and will receive a unique souvenir medal as soon as they cross the finish line.
With a friendly community atmosphere, children and adults of all ages are welcome to join the 2k Fun Run - those under 6 must always be accompanied by an adult on the course.
All proceeds will benefit Jubilee Hall Trust's community programmes to get more people engaging in heart-healthy physical activity.
