What To Do This Weekend 11.09.24

Paralympic champ Richard Whitehead and broadcaster-DJ Adele Roberts are hosting an inclusive running event this weekend. At the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Run To The Future is about encouraging and celebrating diversity in the running community. There’s a 2K route and a 5k route, both accessible to all regardless of ability. Plus, if you have an impairment or need someone to help you run, walk or push to the finish line, you can request a trained support runner to help you when you sign up. Entries cost £15 and will include chip-timed results, an event medal and post-race goodies.

James McAvoy is at his most terrifying in this Hollywood remake of a cult Danish thriller. Speak No Evil tells the story of an American family invited to spend a weekend in an idyllic British country house, where their hosts slowly become more and more psychotic. It's a boiling-lobster kind of psychological thriller – by the time the family realise what is going on, they are already in hot water. James Watkins (Eden Lake, The Woman In Black) is the director, so expect to be on the edge of your seat.
