London Marathon 2026

Thames Path parkrun × Brooks shoe trial

Thames Path parkrun gets a marathon-weekend twist with a Brooks shoe trial built in. The usual parkrun format stays the same — a friendly, timed 5K where participants can walk, jog, or run — but with the option to take a pair of Brooks out for a spin along the riverside route at James Clavell Square. Pre-registration is available to reserve a shoe size; if a size is fully booked, the Brooks team aims to match runners on the day as best they can. Part of Brooks’ “Let’s Run There: London” lineup for London Marathon 2026. Good to know: - Arrive a little early for shoe fitting and sizing - Bring socks suitable for trying on demo shoes - Expect typical parkrun conditions: outdoor route, weather-dependent underfoot surfaces

Clapham Common parkrun × Brooks shoe trial

A classic Saturday-morning parkrun with a marathon-week twist: participants can walk, jog, or run the Clapham Common route while test-driving a pair of Brooks shoes, with the brand team on hand to help get the fit right. It’s part of Brooks’ “Let’s Run There: London” programme for London Marathon weekend, so expect an easy, community-first vibe rather than a hard workout. Pre-registration is recommended to reserve a shoe size; if a size is fully booked, Brooks will try to match runners on the day. Good to know: - Starts at 9:00am BST — arriving early helps with shoe pick-up and sizing - Location: Clapham Common (Broomwood Road, London SW4 9AU) - Bring regular run kit; shoe trials are limited by available sizes
