Galvin's Chance

Mayfair Park and Tower Race

The Mayfair Park and Tower Race is the principal fundraiser for the Galvin's Chance programme. The race incorporates a unique 4.5km run around Hyde Park's Serpentine Lake followed by a gruelling tower run up 28 floors to the top of the London Hilton on Park Lane.

June 2009 saw the launch of this event with over 100 runners taking part. Participants included former sportsmen such as footballer Graeme le Saux and Olympic athlete Iwan Thomas, celebrity chefs such as Michel Roux Junior, business leaders, and members of the general public.

Participants are required to raise a minimum of £250 sponsorship for the race with all net profits supporting Galvin's Chance.
