Rise & Run is returning to London every first Thursday of the month.

Rise & Run has been created to inspire Londoners to rise early and seize the working day ahead. Welcoming beginners and experienced runners alike, the five-kilometre run will inspire city-dwellers to start the day on the right foot and encourage them to take a moment to tune out from their busy schedules.

Free and open to all abilities, the run will be led by running expert Charlie Watson, @TheRunnerBeans or Erin Summers, Westin Run Concierge and held from The Westin London City along the scenic River Thames. The circular route will take you across Tower Bridge, down past Borough Market, across the Millennium Bridge and around St Paul’s Cathedral, before heading back to the hotel for refreshments.

Participants are asked to meet at The Westin London City from 6:30 am for a 7:15 am start.

More than just a running club, Rise & Run aims to exercise both body and mind with additional events curated by fitness and wellbeing experts. Follow us on Instagram @TheWestinLondonCity to stay aware of our upcoming events.
