INTRoDUCTIoNJuly 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of WW1. The theme of this year’s British 10k London Run is ‘Linking the Past to the Present’. Representing the past will be a spectacular parade at the start on Piccadilly involving mounted cavalry offi cers and Tommys in period WW1 uniforms. The present will be represented by 100 servicemen in current uniform with Help for Heroes as offi cial charity. There will also be a performance by a military wives choir and WW1 poetry readings.
ICoNIC RoUTE Starting on Piccadilly outside the Cavalry & Guards Club, the route passes a great many of the old city’s world class historic landmarks before fi nishing on Whitehall at the Cenotaph. The Cenotaph was built to commemorate WW1 and unveiled in November 1920 by King George V.
NEW BALANCE - SUPPoRTING BRITISH MANUFACTURINGUniquely our sports wear partner New Balance remains committed to manufacturing in Britain. They currently employ over 210 people at their site in Flimby, Cumbria and produce over 28,000 pairs of shoes a week with 90% of all footwear sold going to European markets.As part of your race entry you will fi nd on page 8 your discount voucher entitling you to 20% off New Balance footwear and apparel. Make use of this runner benefi t and help support our sponsor and British Manufacturing. Also don’t forget to activate your online personal runcoach training programme and make use of the downloadable British 10k app entitling you to a whole range of fantastic benefi ts across London on race weekend.
A FAIR DEAL FoR CHARITIESThe British 10k London Run is unique in that it is the only mass participation charity based road race that either starts, fi nishes or passes through central London which does not penalise charities by charging them more than members of the public for guaranteed places. This has the very real benefi t of charities retaining more of the funds, you, the participant, raise for the worthy cause. This enables these charities to spend more on the people and causes they were set up for in the fi rst instance, rather than infl ating income to limited event management companies – even if they operate with the guise of having charitable trusts.
LookING FoRWARD To 2015Looking forward to next year’s run we are delighted to announce that Cancer Research UK will be the offi cial charity. 2015 online entries for individual own place runner (red numbers) will open on the afternoon of the 13th of July this year, with entries accepted on a fi rst come fi rst served basis.

2015 Challenges: Run - Trek - Cycle
Private Jamie Hull, Band of Brothers MemberIn August 2007, Private Jamie Hull was involved in an incident while piloting a light aircraft in Florida. Jamie suffered horrendous injuries, including 60% third-degree burns and partially paralysed feet.
Following six months in intensive care in the USA, Jamie had to effectively rebuild his life; including learning to walk again. Since 2007 Jamie has faced and overcome enormous adversity. His injuries haven’t stopped him from striving to succeed with many great challenges in life. He completed the 2011 London Marathon and then the New York marathon the following November. He has also
climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, successfully reaching 5,895 metres on 1st June.
Help for Heroes is honoured to have such an inspirational ambassador who has strength of character and determination to achieve whatever he sets his sights on:
“Help for Heroes has been such an important part of my recovery. The money they receive from their supporters really does go directly to people like me. As part of my rehabilitation the Charity’s Quick Reaction Fund was able to award me a grant with which to purchase a bike to help maintain my fitness levels. Without this I would not be achieving
what I am today. Each challenge I set myself is a personal goal, proving to myself that I’ve regained my fitness. Running a marathon for the second time demonstrates my commitment to achieving what once seemed impossible, and enables me to ‘do my bit’ by raising money for other wounded servicemen and women.”

RELIEVE MUSCULAR ACHES AND PAINS WITH TIGER BALM RED
PAGE 9
Tiger Balm owes its origins to a soothing herbal balm that was prepared to effectively relieve the aches and pains of Chinese Emperors. It was first developed in the 1870s by Aw Chu Kin, a Chinese herbalist who worked in the Emperors Court and went onto set up a small medicine shop where he prepared and sold this special remedy.
When he died, Aw Chu Kin passed his eastern wisdom onto his two sons Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par who sold the soothing balm to surrounding countries and named it Tiger Balm - an anglicised version of Haw’s name, the tiger, and synonymous in the East with strength and vitality. Tiger Balm Red is now a modern day topical analgesic proven effective for the temporary and targeted relief of muscular aches and pains.
The unique herbal formulation of Tiger Balm uses the healing properties of natural active ingredients, Camphor, Menthol, Cajuput Oil and Clove Oil and is available in two varieties. Tiger Balm White, with the comforting aroma of Mint Oil, which is recommended for the treatment of tension headaches and Tiger Balm Red, which contains Cinnamon Oil, to provide temporary and targeted relief of muscular aches and pains.
With 18% of us suffering from aches and pains every day, the relieving properties of Tiger Balm’s natural active ingredients coupled with the calming aroma of Cinnamon Oil means you no longer need to suffer in silence when it comes to muscular aches and pains. A little of the non greasy formula should be gently rubbed into the affected area two or three times a day for best results, or as often as required.
The distinctive springing tiger logo was created by Boon Haw (whose name means gentle tiger) and remains the trademark of the brand. Tiger Balm comes in a decorative handy sized jar and its unique formulation has been tried and trusted for over 100 years and is now sold in over 100 countries worldwide. Tiger Balm Red’s inherent strength is always on hand to ease away the effects of a hard day’s work.
Tiger Balm Red is priced £4.90 for a 19g jar and is available from Boots, Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Superdrug, independent pharmacies and health food stores nationwide. For further information call 0844 243 6661 or visit www.tigerbalm.co.uk. Always read the label.
WARM UP AND COOL DOWN On race morning the adrenaline’s pumping. You’ve trained for this for months using runcoach our online training partner. There’s just one last bit of preparation left: your warm up. A proper warm up prepares your body for the run, helps you perform at your peak and reduces the risk of injury. You can warm up by jogging the 1.5km from the baggage bays to the start area and stretch when you get there.
Your race isn’t over just because you’ve crossed the fi nish line. Warming down is just as important as warming up. Don’t stop when you’ve crossed the line. Keep moving around, jog a little, then walk so your body can adjust.
THE MOST DANGEROUS PERIOD FOR ANY RUNNER IS THE 20 MINUTES AT THE END OF THE EVENT. Being dehydrated can lead to fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps and reduced coordination. So pay attention to your pre-race and post run hydration. One pound of weight loss through sweat is equal to one pint of water, so replenish this amount after your run.
Don’t eat a big meal for at least an hour. It’s better to eat a little and often for the six hours after the race.
BE PREPARED ON RACE DAY
ARRIVE HYDRATED ON RACE DAY WITH A SPRING IN YOUR STEPoN-CoURSE WATER STATIoNS On course water stations are located at approx 3km, 5km, 7km and 8km with 330cl bottles of water. At the fi nish line there will be 25,000 500cl bottles of water: One for each person.
SEE CENTRE SPREAD MAP FOR WATER STATION LOCATIONS
PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE TO YOUR FELLOW RUNNERS: TAKE ONLY ONE WATER BOTTLE AT EACH STATION AND USE ECONOMICALLY - THERE COULD BE 24,999 PEOPLE BEHIND YOU!
TAKE A SENSIBLE APPROACH TO YOUR RUN - TIPS FOR ENJOYING YOUR 10K AND STAYING WELL FROM THE BRITISH RED CROSS
PREPARATIONSAs always, a sensible approach needs to be taken to all distance running especially with regard to training, which will be different for each person. The fi rst thing to do if you are not a club or experienced runner is to have a medical with your GP to ascertain if it is sensible for you to take part in the event and if given the all clear, to then start building up your exercise regime at least six months prior to the event.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS If you have a medical condition and your doctor still says that you can compete in a long distance run then it is sensible to inform the race organiser of your pre-existing condition so that in the event of you becoming ill during the race, the medical team can be made aware of your pre-existing condition. If you have a ‘medic alert’ bracelet, then make sure you wear it for the race.
NUTRITION Nutrition plays a part in fi tness and carbohydrate ‘loading’ can enhance running performance by allowing the competitor to run at optimal pace for a longer period before fatiguing. For the well-trained runner, this may be achieved by tapering exercise over the fi nal days before the race and ensuring carbohydrate intakes of 10-12 g/kg/day over the 36-48 hours prior to the race. Sports nutrition guidelines recommend the runner consumes suffi cient amounts of carbohydrates to promote restoration of muscle glycogen between training sessions.
GUIDELINES FOR RUNNERS
If the weather is hot make sure your running kit is light coloured, light weight and any fancy dress is kept to a minimum and is runner friendly for hot weather.

hand side.

each water station.

THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN TO PROVIDE YOUR FRIENDS / FAMILY / CHARITY SUPPORTERS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY OF SPOTTING YOU AND CHEERING YOU ALONG THE RACE ROUTE. SEE NUMBERED VIEWING POINTS ON CENTRE SPREAD ROUTE MAP
VICTORIA EMBANKMENT - NORTH SIDE Between Waterloo Bridge & Temple Place. Nearest London Underground station: Embankment. Here you will see runners pass twice on a wide section of road.
VICTORIA EMBANKMENT - RIVER THAMES SIDE Between Waterloo Bridge & 100m before Blackfriars Bridge. You will also be able to see runners pass twice here.
UPPER THAMES STREET, LONDON EC4 North and south sides of the road. Nearest London Underground station: St. Pauls, Central Line. A great location as there are very few spectators and you will see your runners 3 times!
PUDDLE DOCK / VICTORIA EMBANKMENT / WHITE LION HILL, LONDON EC4 This is a great viewing location as runners will pass this intersection THREE TIMES providing you with a plenty of opportunity to spot and cheer your runners on. This is also the mid way point of the course with runners needing all the encouragement you can give! Here there will also be a PA system providing inspirational music.
VICTORIA EMBANKMENT - BETWEEN GOLDEN JUBILEE BRIDGE / BIG BEN Best side for viewing is River Thames side as runners make their way towards Big Ben and the London Eye after completing the City of London part of the course. Nearest London Underground stations: Embankment & Westminster. The RAF Benevolent Fund with a large team of over 120 runners taking part will have a cheer point beneath the RAF Memorial opposite the London Eye spreading along to the Battle of Britain Memorial. Why not join them?
WESTMINSTER BRIDGE Using both sides of the bridge you will see runners twice here with an iconic London ‘Exhibition’ Route Master Bus with live band providing the focal point between the unique London Eye & Big Ben – the world’s most famous clock. Nearest London Underground station: Westminster (Jubilee Line). This will be a great cheer point for charities.
PARLIAMENT SQUARE With the historic Westminster Abbey as backdrop why not join the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund cheer team on the south side of the square to cheer your friends on. Nearest London Underground station: Westminster (Jubilee Line). If you prefer to use the north side of the square between Great George Street & Parliament Street you can walk a short distance up Whitehall towards the finish line. A giant TV screen will be positioned at the junction of Parliament Street with Parliament Square facing towards Trafalgar Square.
VICTORIA STREET Here you will be able to cheer runners on twice as they pass down the south side of Victoria Street & return on the north side. There will be a PA system here playing inspirational music. There is also a classic Victorian pub here called the Prince Albert! Well worth a visit!
Some of these locations have deliberately been highlighted away from major landmark locations to provide the best opportunity of those supporting you to get close to the race route in order to see you and cheer you on! There is not much joy in being around Trafalgar Square or behind the finish line five rows back from the race route unable to spot or cheer your friends running the race.

LINKING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT - ALL BRITISH 10K RUNNERS WILL PASS THE ICONIC CENOTAPH ON WHITEHALLThe Cenotaph was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and was originally a wood-and-plaster structure. It was one of a number of temporary structures erected for the London Victory Parade. For some time after the parade, the base of the memorial was covered with flowers and wreaths by members of the public. Pressure then mounted to retain it, and an announcement was made on 23 October 1919 that a permanent Portland stone version would replace it and would be a replica exact in every detail.
The Cenotaph is undecorated apart from a carved wreath on each end and a smaller carved wreath on top. The words “The Glorious Dead” are inscribed below the wreaths on each end. Above the wreaths are inscribed the dates of the First World War in Roman numerals (1914 - MCMXIV; and 1919 - MCMXIX).
The Cenotaph was unveiled by King George V in November 1920 by way of two giant Union Flags draped each side. The picture on the right shows the unveiling
of the Cenotaph. On the north side of the Cenotaph is the body of the unknown warrior which was taken from Flanders en route to be buried at the west nave entrance of Westminster Abbey.
The Cenotaph was designed to commemorate the British Empire military dead of the First World War, but this was later extended to include those that died in the Second World War. The dates of the Second World War were added in Roman numerals on the sides of the memorial (1939—MCMXXXIX; and 1945—MCMXLV) The memorial was unveiled for a second time on Sunday 10 November 1946 by King George VI. It is now also used to remember the dead of later wars in which British servicemen and servicewomen have fought. The Cenotaph was designated a Grade I listed building on 5 February 1970.
The British 10k London Run course passes Westminster Abbey before finishing on Whitehall at Royal Horse Guards Arch with all runners poignantly passing the Cenotaph.

The Western Front Association was founded to remember the First World War of 1914-18.
This was a conflict that was not just about soldiers, sailors and airmen: it touched every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom. The scale of the casualties were greater than in any war Britain had fought before, and actually greater than those of the Second World War. The British Empire suffered 3,261,000 casualties, of which 947,000 were killed – nearly one million. On the Western Front in France and Belgium, the losses of the British forces totalled 2,700,000, including 678,000 fatalities. Everyone in Britain would have had a friend or family member who was killed or wounded, or known someone in that position. Yet the people of 1914-18 mostly believed it was worth it: the threat to the security of Britain, and their way of life was seen as so great that German aggression had to be resisted. Britain mobilised its entire population to fight a ‘total war’, and in a democracy this
can only work if the people consent. At the end of the war, the vast majority of the people of Britain were still firmly behind the war effort. The Germans had appeared to be winning as late as the summer of 1918, and the victory in November 1918 came as a merciful deliverance.
The scars on individuals in Britain was traumatic: women were widowed, parents bereaved, children orphaned. Many children only knew of their fathers from photographs and from visits to the local war memorial to look at his name carved in stone. We are still feeling the effects of that war 100 years later. In the year of the Centenary of the First World War, it is important for us to remember and honour the sacrifice of the generation of 1914-18: the men who did not come back, or were wounded in body or mind; the families that were bereaved. But we should not look upon them simply as victims. They were victors, and it is appropriate to celebrate, in a non-triumphalist way, the achievement of the
British people in overcoming aggression. The links between the way we remember the First World War and the way we think about casualties of modern wars are many and obvious. While the last of the veterans of the 1914-18 War has gone, those of Afghanistan, Iraq and other campaigns are still very much with us. True remembrance is not merely thinking about those who gave their lives or health, but an active commitment to help those in need.

12 year old Jack has intractable
epilepsy and he can have more
than 60 seizures a day. When he
arrived at Young Epilepsy, he was
withdrawn, spent most of his time in a
wheelchair and was fed through a tube into his
stomach. A year on, Jack has developed the
confidence and strength to talk, feed himself,
walk and hopefully one day he’ll be cheered
over the finish line like you!
