About

Runner's World Club and lululemon host a pre-marathon shakeout run and Q&A at House of Hearst, just days before the London Marathon. The evening starts with a relaxed 5K loop through St James's Park, the Mall, and past Buckingham Palace, followed by a panel with Runner's World UK Editor-in-Chief Andy Dixon and lululemon ambassadors Andre Coggins (Mafia Moves) and Jennifer Mannion (Runners & Stunners). They'll cover race-day preparation — physical, mental, and logistical — with practical tips for the final days before the marathon. Post-run refreshments, pop-up physio and massage stations, plus a goodie bag worth £50 and a lululemon T-shirt for every attendee.
