Rise & Run and Refuel with The Westin London City

The Westin London City is gearing up to become the ultimate runner’s paradise this London Marathon, kicking off next month with a special Rise & Run led by running guru Charlie Watson (aka @therunnerbeans) followed by calming yoga class.

On 26 September, the evening will invite runners from beginners to marathoners to join a 5k route through the capital’s most scenic landmarks - including Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Millennium Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral - before heading back to the hotel for refreshments and relaxing yoga. To ensure everyone feels comfortable on the run, the route will be led by several guide paces, including Rise & Run Ambassador Charlie and the Westin London City’s Run Concierge.
