The 2018 event took winter entertainment to a new level as the event venue, Trafalgar Square, was fashioned into a winter wonderland surprise, featuring alpine trees, snowy huts and retro ski dancers. The spectacular course which featured famous London Landmarks, was overwhelmed in atmosphere provided by the famous Penguin Party, Husky High Fives, Live Music and don’t forget, the popular polar bear hugs across the finish line on Whitehall. The wonders continued as runners also experienced a brand new arctic experience as they ran through the ‘Yeti Cave’.

The official event ambassador and Winter Olympic Gold Medallist, Amy Williams said: “It’s been amazing to be involved in such an inspirational event. To encourage thousands of people to stay healthy during the winter is a fantastic achievement and I’m so pleased to be a part of it.”
