Sunday 24th September 2023

Thousands of runners took to the streets of London to run for their mental health and wellbeing at the 2023 Vitality London 10,000 as the race took place in its new September slot in the event calendar.

On a warm day in early autumn, runners packed The Mall to take on the course that includes some of the most recognisable sights in the capital.

Behind the fast finishers, thousands of participants enjoyed the autumn sunshine and iconic route as they made their way past the likes of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Bank of England 🏦, Big Ben ⏰, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

Adam Davies 🦈 41:51, Mick Husarz 💪🏼 48:37 , Sam Nemo 🐠 53:34 and Maria Stanford 👧🏼 1:09:17 were joined by Helen Blewitt 1:02:33 from Polegate Plodders 💚🖤, to take on the flat, fast London course with a spectacular finish by Buckingham Palace 🤴🏻 

The Vitality London 10,000 was also an opportunity for the UK’s best club runners to compete in a club competition, with male and female runners vying to win separate prize funds totalling almost £3,000 each 🤩 

Our fabulous team of Harriers all ran sterling performances despite a few hiccups with numbers and starting pens.  Great work Ads, Sam, Mick, Maria and Helen 🖤❤️

If you fancy this next year, entries are now open for the 2024 Vitality London 10,000 which will take place on Sunday 22nd September.
