Virgin London Marathon 2012

VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON

22ND APRIL 2012

On April 22nd 2012, it is the annual London Marathon with approximately 30,000 people running the 26.2 miles through the streets of London. The marathon goes along the South of the Thames and then the north side after crossing the river at Tower Bridge.


The runners then go from Greenwich and Blackheath to Buckingham Palace, along the way passing many famous London landmarks such as the London Eye and the Tower of London.

 

The London Marathon was originally organised in 1981, by Olympic champion Chris Brasher who had returned to Britain, after running in the New York Marathon.

Some of the runners do the London Marathon for personal achievement, but lots of people raise money for their favourite charities. In 2011 many people ran in fancy dress, which were quite outrageous and wacky, to get them noticed in the crowds wearing wigs and fancy dress accessories.

Each year millions of people watch and cheer from the streets waving their union jack flag supporting friends and family, and enjoying this historic fantastic atmosphere, while the runners are raising money for worthwhile charities. To date there has been £506m raised for charity.

Good luck to everyone participating in this wonderful event and if you are brave enough to wear fancy dress, visit our Party Tracker website for a wide, unusual and wacky costumes, flags or bunting to cheer and wave to everyone. 

Student Fresher Week Party Accessories and Novelty Fancy Dress Costumes

STUDENT PARTIES

We are now into September, time when students start thinking about starting or going back to College or University.
This is a very exciting time, nerve racking and can also be very busy.
All of us have dressed up at some time, had parties, or found some excuse for celebrating.

If this is your first year, most universities and colleges tend to have a Freshers week. This gives everyone a good excuse to dress up in obscure wigs or fancy dress costumes and being a Student you will probably have at least one or two parties or events to attend in the next few weeks.

All of us at partytracker.co.uk remember our university days and we now stock some awesome Rasta Imposta novelty costumes, wigs, hats and other fancy dress accessories that will help you stand out from the rest of the crowd which is a great way to meet new people and socialise with your new friends.
Contact us if you need any help with your party supplies or fancy dress costumes.
