  • Battersea Park Central Ave England, SW11 4NJ United Kingdom (map)

Battersea Park is one of London’s most picturesque parks and thanks to RunThrough Events, it hosts a series of 5K, 10K and Half Marathon races throughout the year. The course is flat and on tarmac, and has become a firm favourite for those wanting to push themselves to a Personal Best!

All events run on a lapped course, making it easy for your supporters to catch sight of you as you pass.

why rUN FOR aFRICAN CHILDREN’S fUND?

The funds you raise during your sponsored challenge will reduce school absence and improve long-term outcomes for children, leading to better opportunities for a future free from poverty. Donations from your supporters make a big collective difference: 

  • £12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling; 

  • £20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;

  • £90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;

  • £250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
