Fit for the Queen- run the Royal Parks half marathon this autumn

Join the YoungMinds Team for a 13.1 miles run through London's most beautiful royal parks. The route winds through Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park, St James's Park and along the River Thames, taking in superb views of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Marble Arch, the London Eye and the Royal Albert Hall. The Green Park, as well as parts of Kensington Gardens that have never officially been raced through before!

YoungMinds is asking runners to raise £250 or more  which could provide mental health training to 5 youth workers, who could not ordinarily afford it.

YoungMinds, the only national charity dedicated to tackling young people's mental health provides information and support to young people, their parents and carers, and the professionals who work with them around conditions such as eating disorders, ADHD and depression.
