2025 Big Mile Participant Guide

Participant guide

Before Event Day, familiarise yourself with the route and what’s on offer, from toilets to the quiet space.

The route will take you from Creek Road towards Depftord, before doubling back through Greenwich to the Finish Line at the Cutty Shark.

It will take between six and 20 minutes to reach the Finish Line. If you’re intending to run, head towards the front of the group at the Start Line. If you’re intending to jog or walk, please go to the back.

Arrive ready to go and only bring items that you’re able to run, jog or walk with as we can’t look after your belongings.

There are toilets at the Start Area.

Safety & security

Please ensure everyone you’re taking part with has their emergency contact filled in on the backs of their bib numbers.

If a child gets separated from their designated adult, our welfare team will keep them at the Child Meeting Point which will be detailed in your Event Guide.

If a child or young person is injured or unwell, our medical team will contact the designated adult listed on their wristband.

Need a moment? 

Please use our quiet space, family space (for breastfeeding/pumping and entertaining young children), or multi-faith prayer space in the Finish Area.
