This stunning 13.1-mile race takes runners through four of London’s world-renowned royal parks.

Boasting both nature and urban landscape, it’s the only half marathon through central London. Starting at Hyde Park, you’ll also race through Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park and The Green Park.

Along the route, you’ll pass famous London landmarks, including The Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace, all on closed roads.

The event village in Hyde Park, where the race ends, hosts a food and fitness festival that runners and their supporters can both enjoy.
