The RunThrough Foundation is extremely excited to bring you what will be the first ever FREE closed road event to take place in London!
The LONDON TEN by The RunThrough Foundation will take place on 27th October 2024 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and will be totally free for all to enter! There are a limited number of places available and therefore places will be allocated via a series of ballot waves.
Continuing the RunThrough Foundation’s mission of empowering people from low income areas across the UK to transform their physical and mental wellbeing there will be an element of prioritising individuals from low income areas and boroughs of London to receive places in the ballot.
Ballot Process:
Entry to RunThrough Foundation events are done via a series of ballot waves in order to give you multiple chances to receive a place. Due to the nature of these being free events, there will always be far greater interest than the event’s capacity and hence the need to allocate places via a ballot.
Continuing the RunThrough Foundation’s mission of empowering people from low income areas across the UK to transform their physical and mental wellbeing there will be an element of prioritising individuals from low income areas and boroughs of London to receive places in the ballot.

The race will be part funded by RunThrough Events (GW Active) in partnership with LetsDoThis. In addition, we welcome any donations to be made of any amount or the opportunity for further partners to get on board. We also invite people to run for the RunThrough foundation and raise money. Any surplus money raised for the event will go into bringing the same initiative to another city in an effort to spread the joys of running across the UK!
The Warrington Running Festival 2023 was the world’s first free to enter chip timed, closed road running event which saw 6,000 runners take part across the 10k, Half Marathon and Junior race presented by Kids Planet Day Nurseries ALL for free!
The event had the biggest proportion of people taking part in their first officially organised running event than any other event that has ever taken place. This is a huge success for the RunThrough Foundation whose mission is to inspire people to get active for the physical and mental health benefits associated.
Due to the overwhelming interest in the event, entry was done via a ballot which saw over 20,000 people apply. Allocation of places was also prioritised to people from low income areas of Warrington to help support people from all social backgrounds to benefit and of those that applied from low income areas of Warrington, 100% received a place via the ballot.
The Warrington Runnign Festival will return in 2024 in its traditional format. Anyone wishing to take part in the 2024 edition of the Warrington Running Festival can enter now.
