Royal Parks Half Marathon

This stunning 13.1-mile route takes in many of the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks ?" Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
Landmarks to enjoy along the route include Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the Royal Albert Hall. Although there are some gentle undulations it’s a generally flat course, making it fantastic for both beginners and experienced runners.
Everyone who completes the half marathon will receive a finisher’s medal and T shirt.
Registration for the event is £50 and by signing up you pledge to raise a minimum of £450.
