London Classics Series

Posted by Alan Mawdsley on 18 September 2017

Swim Serpentine

Three of the great London mass-participation sporting events – the London Marathon, RideLondon-Surrey 100 sportive and the two-mile (3.2km) Swim Serpentine – have now united to form the London Classics series.

The first two need no introduction. Swim Serpentine is a one day open water swimming festival that started in 2016.

People who have finished each of the three events will get a special medal engraved with Et ego Londinium vici – “I too have conquered London”.

If you have run the London Marathon in any year since 1981 and cycled the RideLondon-Surrey 100 since it began in 2013 they will count towards your London Classics tally. All that’s left is the 2 mile swim in The Serpentine!

 (At least) 3 Stragglers were fast out of the blocks with Lynda Chase, Bonnie Whang and Karen Cousins all completing 2 miles in The Serpentine to join a select group of people wearing the London Classics medal. If there are any more of you, please let us know!
