Check out our note-worthy spots on route and find out more about our epic performers below.
1. Trio Jazz Band
Passing your first kilometre, jazz up your jog with this amazing style of music. With its more complex rhythms, believe it or not, jazz and running make the perfect partnership.
2. Fulham Brass Band
A quarter of the way through, you’re going to be blown away by a brass band playing an eclectic range of songs – what a perfect way to drum up the motivation to keep running.
Yes, that was us waking up Jack Whitehall’s father at 6am! We loved smashing ‘Dambusters’ but not sure @fatherwhitehall did at that time of the morning! If you missed it you can watch ‘Jack Whitehall’s Father’s Day on BBC iPlayer. @jackwhitehall @BBCOne @4barsrest#fulham125 pic.twitter.com/Cr2ckbpUf4

3. Capital Connections Choir
No instruments needed for this incredible performance. An award-winning female close harmony chorus will be performing a variety of a cappella songs including pop, ballads, film, and Broadway numbers. Their performance is truly one of a kind!
4. CRUK Rock Choir
If you love to sing, you’ll love Rock Choir! You lucky runners get to rock out with the UK’s leading contemporary award-winning choir, who are well known for their up-beat, feel-good, and emotionally impactful tunes.
5. Lizzie Haynes
Hitting a slightly different change of pace here (not meaning your running), spectacular solo artist, Lizzie Haynes will be performing some well-known acoustic melodies. Have a listen to her amazing rendition of ‘Don’t look back in anger’ below.
6. Penguin Party
The coolest party in the capital is back! As you run through the closed roads of London, look out for our notorious and riotous penguin party. Positioned around the halfway mark to lift your spirits, you may even want to stop to have a boogie with them but remember to reserve some energy for the rest of your run!
7. Drumworks
Halfway round, you’ll be approaching the magnificent Mansion House, move your feet to the beat, and follow the sound of the samba drums.
