Live Updates – Build Up

See you tomorrow

That’s all for today – all the hard work is done. You entered the event, you’ve done the training and now you’re ready.

We can’t wait, we know you can’t either. See you bright and early Winter Runners.

Let’s make it a good one!

Know the route

We’re extremely lucky to be able to temporarily close many of the roads in central London and dedicated a morning to health and well-being. Familiarise yourself with where you’ll be running tomorrow by taking a look at our route map here.

 

Happy Birthday to...

Some of you may know that somebody, or should I say something, will be celebrating a very special birthday tomorrow. That’s right – the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run will be 5 years old tomorrow! A quick Google shows that Isla Fisher, Amal Clooney and Warwick Davies were also born on 3 Feb. Happy Birthday to them.

 

Like Ian, we’ll also looking forward to tucking ourselves in early, ready for tomorrow’s excitement.

Smile...you're on camera

Remember to smile when you’re out on the course tomorrow. You can purchase official event photos from our website here. However, if you really grin you might be lucky enough to be featured in some of our marketing and branding photos.

I can't wait

We are absolutely buzzing down at Winter Run HQ – the atmosphere is electric. 365 days in the making and big day is only three hundred and thirty minutes away. The question is are you ready?
