Standard Chartered
Great City Race
Tuesd a y 17 Ju ly 2 0 18
Welcome to the Standard Chartered Great City Race. We are looking
forward to seeing you on the Start Line on Tuesday 17 July.
On the evening of the race the roads within the ‘Square Mile’ will be closed
to traffic, giving you an excellent opportunity to see some of London’s
great landmarks at close quarters – including Tower 42, the Bank of
England, Guildhall and St Paul’s Cathedral.
The Honourable Artillery Company Ground lawns are the perfect
assembly area before and after the race. We hope you and your
colleagues will stay on after the event. There will be drinks available,
plus music and entertainment that will continue well into the evening.
We hope you have a great time!
Best wishes,
The London Marathon Events Team
