A run around in London for all
We have been invited once again to have Scouts from across the Region participate in the Vitality Westminster Mile – Scouts Wave 2025! This is a separate wave of participants who are specifically connected with Scouting.
Held in the heart of London, the Vitality Westminster Mile takes place on a spectacular course that starts on The Mall and finishes in front of Buckingham Palace. The family-friendly accessible mile takes place on Saturday 27th September and is completely free for Scouting members and their families (using our registration QR code included in the flyer or by using the link below). Every participant will receive a beautiful medal and will also get free entry to the fantastic Vitality Wellness Festival in Green Park!
Who is the event for? Greater London Scouts – Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network, Leadership Volunteers, and their families (of all ages and abilities).
Date / Time? Saturday 27th September 2025 12:55pm (you’ll need to be in place 45 minutes before).
How do I book? You book direct with London Marathon Events using the following link – if you use any other link you will not be in the Scouts Wave.
Please be aware this event is organised and run by London Marathon Events, and is televised.
Individuals or Groups will be registering to participate directly with London Marathon Events. It isn’t a Scouts operated event. Groups are individually responsible for ratio’s when booking together (see guidance in the booking form), and families are encouraged to book direct so we get even more people involved in the fun. Please be aware this is a public event and all young people should be appropriately supervised.
The Scouting team supporting the event have got some fun surprises planned which will make you smile! This year our Scouting cheer squad on the starting line will be from Lambeth District in South London Scouts. If you are up for helping to lift everybody’s Scouting spirits and want to join the cheer team on the starting line, leaders should get in touch with David Liddle via davidliddle1974@gmail.com – fancy dress and loud voices mandatory! It’s going to be HUGE!
If leaders has any questions about the event, please feel free to contact David direct.
Finally if you ARE taking part, you will need to wear a Scout scarf so that we can showcase our fantastic young people! ! !
