- running shoes,

Also useful is a rucksack that you are able to run for up to 5 mins with, to put water bottle etc into (there are no lockers or mirrors, only sunbeams and trees). So a rucksack that clips at the front is useful, but not essential.

How many places relating to London’s inspiring women can you find in 60 or 80 minutes.
On the night we’ll join you up with other runners and you’ll plot your route. Out on the course there are a number of checkpoints – each is a place linking to an inspiring woman from history.
As a team, you’ll need to find as many checkpoints as you can in the time limit. You’ll find a marshal at each one who will give you a token to prove you’ve been there..
