Your support is helping our charity to address educational inequality at our Hackney and Virtual Ships. This year, we're working with over 500 children, to develop their literacy, confidence and perseverance.
Join Team Literacy Pirates and run 13.1 miles with your fellow dedicated pirate runners to help raise money to support children in London with their literacy, confidence and perseverance.
Live entertainment and DJs will keep you motivated and inspired as you cruise down Mare Street, passed the famous Town Hall, head through the historic Broadway Market, and then take in Hackney Wick, which is flush with vibrant street art. Explore green spaces including Haggerston and Downs Parks, cross over twelve canals and rivers, and enjoy a panoramic view of the Olympic Park. Cross over the finish line into a full festival of fitness on the Hackney Marshes.
