To mark the anniversaries of the 1908 and 1948 Olympic and Paralympic Games which were held in West London, you are invited to complete your own marathon challenge which will take you along the 1908 route. But don't worry - you don't need to complete the whole 26 miles 385 yards in one go! neither do you have to run it! Once you've registered you can log on as many times as you like and enter your distances and your activities. Why not share it with friends or challenge your family and see who is first to complete the distance?
Head on over to the registration form and take the challenge!
