Royal Parks Half Marathon – Sunday 11th Oct 2026

The first and only half marathon through the centre of London.

The 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.

The Royal Parks Half Marathon was set up by The Royal Parks Charity as an annual fundraising initiative to help conserve and enhance London’s eight Royal Parks for everyone, while enabling charities of all sizes to be involved in a major challenge event.

As part of #TeamPetals, you’ll be supported from sign-up to race day, and will receive your own Petals Running T-Shirt or vest for training and racing in. Please read the information below before signing up:
