Flora London Marathon - Sunday 26 April 2009

Bag Books has a limited number of places in the Flora London Marathon 2009.

To be considered for one, e-mail: marathon@bagbooks.org indicating how much sponsorship you expect to raise. £4,000 would help us put a story into the hands and hearts of up to 500 children; £8,500 would pay for a brand new title in your honour; and £15,000 would pay for a Craft Artist for a whole year.

If you were lucky enough to get your own place through the offical ballot, do please consider running for us. You will get a t-shirt as well as invitations to pre- and post-race activities.

The ASICS British 10k London Run - Sunday 12 July 2009

After the spectacular success of the 2008 race - with over 26,000 people running past some of London's finest and world famous landmarks to complete the race - the organisers are expecting this year's places to sell out quickly so enter now whilst you still can. The ASICS British 10K London Run attracts runners from all over the world, including some of the sport's finest athletes. The 2008 race was won for the second consecutive time by the Olympic mens marathon champion Stefano Baldini. People from all walks of life and every level of running ability choose to run and all help to make the day into the great event it has become.

The adidas Women's 5k Challenge - Sunday 7 September 2008

This fun run for women of all ages took place in Hyde Park, London; the City Centre, Birmingham; and Sefton Park, Liverpool. We had a team of 18 women (plus "Desmond" our mascot) taking part in the Hyde Park event. They all wore our bright orange Bag Books t-shirts so that they stood out amongst the 30,000 other entrants!
