It's not too late to get fit and sign up for the The Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday, 10th October 2010. The race starts and ends in Hyde Park and runners go through the four Royal Parks, taking in superb views of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Marble Arch and the Royal Albert Hall.  There will be a Food and Fitness festival taking place at the finish line so it is a great day out for all your friends and family.   

For both events, we ask for a £50 registration fee and a minimum sponsorship commitment of £400. To register for either event, please contact charles.bosher@beatbullying.org or call 0208 768 1029
