Tower Powerhouses: 5K Family Challenge

For almost 1,000 years the Tower of London has stood sentry over the City of London. During its history it has been more than just a prison and royal residence. This was the home of the King’s menagerie, the treasury and Crown Jewels, mint, ordinance office and observatory.

Today, London’s Air Ambulance and Historic Royal Palaces have teamed up to bring you this new and exciting family challenge event. Follow clues around the City of London course and discover how the Tower of London and the powerhouses within it are connected with the City.

The course is suitable for everyone over the age of 5 and will not only challenge any intrepid adventurer with the distance but questions and clues will stretch the young participants to show off their numeracy and mathematical reasoning, literacy and language skills in accordance with Key Stage 1 & 2. The event will finish on the moat lawn with a picnic lunch and free entry into the Tower making this a fun filled and family focused day out.

Participating groups will be asked to pay an entry fee and pledge to raise a suggested contribution in aid of London’s Air Ambulance and Historic Royal Palaces. All proceeds will be split equally between these two iconic London charities.

Will the powerhouses of London defeat you?
