About the British 10K London RunThe eighth annual ASICS British 10K London Run will once again take place through the heart of historic central London in summer 2008! The race starts at 9.35am on 6th July outside the legendary Hard Rock Cafe on Piccadilly. The route will take runners past central London's world famous historic and iconic landmarks.
Taking part will be Olympic athletes and celebrities from stage and screen, as well as thousands of fun and recreational runners who will raise over a million pounds for the hundreds of participating charities and other good causes. VSO has a number of 'guaranteed places', which will be offered to those who are tough enough and ready to take on this exciting challenge. The ASICS British 10K London Run has sold out for the last three years so sign up with VSO now to avoid disappointment.
