London 10K Run
Do you want to get fit but lack the motivation? Perhaps you need a target to keep your exercising on track? Or maybe you’d just enjoy a fabulous way to see the London sites? Well we have just the opportunity for you – a place in the YoungMinds team for the British 10k London Run!
The British 10K London Run sets off from Hyde Park Corner at 9.35 on Sunday 12th July. Its route will lead you through the centre of London, passing by Trafalgar Square, Somerset House, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Tate Modern, The London Eye and The Houses of Parliament, before you greet the finishing line in Whitehall.
The spectacular buildings and famous streets echo with the history of 2,000 years of growth and world spanning influence, and the British 10K London Run route takes you through the very heart of historic London. Much of the course is the same as the route for 2012 London Olympic Marathon. Finisher’s will receive a medal and a post race goody bag.
YoungMinds has secured places for the British 10K London Run. There is a £30 registration fee per place and we ask each of our runners to commit to raising a minimum of £150 (excluding Gift Aid) in sponsorship money. The money you raise goes directly towards supporting YoungMinds’ work:
- £20 enables one young person to attend a ‘Very Important Kids’ panel meeting. Here, young people who have experienced mental health difficulties contribute and inform the development of YoungMinds’ work.
- £55 supports a family in distress by enabling our Parents Helpline to answer a call and provide support and information for a parent concerned about the mental health of their child – giving them a way forward for the future.
The more you raise, the more young people and families we can support, so aim high, and see how far you can go.
