The London 10K has been the central challenge event of the SpecialEffect calendar for over a decade. At the start of 2020, we were hoping to gather our biggest team EVER to hit the streets of London. With the current situation, we're going virtual!

Story

The British 10K is SpecialEffect's longest standing fundraising event, and back in the day a hard core of games industry professionals made something of a name for themselves by completing the race dressed as their favourite video games characters - a tradition that has continued to this day!This year, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic social distancing measures, SpecialEffect have taken this event virtual! We'll be setting off at 9am on Sunday 5th July, on our own local routes with a post-race online meet-up. SpecialEffect are continuing to offer assessments, equipment loans and advice during the Covid-19 lockdown and appreciate your support more than ever!

I've posted a few photos from the Cambridge Half Marathon, which was my last event for these amazing people. You'd think that would mean that a 10k is a breeze, but think again - running in company is a lot easier than running solo, and Cambridge is very flat, whereas I can't go more than 200m without finding a new hill to climb!
