The Bridges Handicap Race (or Lensbury Bridges Handicap Races) was a running race held in Westminster, London, at 12:30 on the second Wednesday of every month. The race is run over a course of 2.3 miles (3.7 km),[1] and runners are given handicap times based on their last performance. The course begins and ends by Westminster Bridge, in front of St. Thomas' Hospital on the Albert Embankment and crosses Vauxhall Bridge and Lambeth Bridge.
