A brilliant 13.1-mile route taking in four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
The stunning course, festival atmosphere, and environmentally conscious approach make it a fantastic day out for supporters and runners. Whether you’re a rookie runner or hardcore harrier, we will support your half marathon journey with fundraising and training tips, plus a free running vest.
By taking on this challenge you will be supporting The Brain Tumour Charity by fundraising to help support people diagnosed with a brain tumour to live longer and better lives. Sign up today, join our movement and make your run matter!
Together we can beat brain tumours faster #ACureCantWait
*You must be 17 years + of age on the event date to run in this event.
What I hadn’t realised when my mum was diagnosed, what none of us realised, was that brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 on the UK and it receives the least amount of funding compared to all other cancers. Please support this wonderful charity and sign-up!
