Are you, your friends or family keen runners or cyclists? Join Team RSPB and be part of some of 2016’s key cycling and running events!

Celebrating the legacy of the 2012 Olympics, the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey100 is the UK’s premier amateur road race. Starting in the Olympic Park the race follows a closed-road route through London into Surrey’s rolling countryside and finishing, in style, on The Mall.

Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne, the Great North Run is recognised as the world’s greatest half marathon and runs from the iconic Tyne Bridge right out towards the coast in South Shields.

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon sees 16,000 runners follow a 13.1 mile route through Central London, taking in the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads and four of London’s eight Royal Parks — Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
