A huge thank you to everyone who ran and supported the CGEF at the Virgin Sport London 10K Run Presented by ASICS on Sunday 21st July 2019.
Our team of almost 40 runners looked amazing in their yellow CGEF t-shirts as they passed many of the iconic sites in Central London. As always, the crowds were out in force to support the thousands of participants and the many worthy causes they were representing.
There was a fantastic atmosphere on the day, with plenty of music and excellent weather. It was especially nice to see so many friends, family and colleagues come out to support our team of runners.
Thank you also to everyone who donated to our team. Donations are still rolling in so we will be announcing the grand total very soon.
It's never too early to consider joining the 2020 CGEF 10k run team! You can run as an individual or buddy up with friends, family or colleagues, so if you think you may be interested in running (or walking) the route next July, please drop us an email at
