About the event
The Royal Parks Half Marathon, presented by the Royal Bank of Canada, is London’s most scenic half marathon. 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. Although there are some gentle undulations it’s a generally flat course, making it fantastic for both beginners and experienced runners.
Please note, you must be aged 17 or over on the day of the event to take part. The deadline to apply for a spot on our Royal Parks Half team is Friday 30 August 2024.
If you would like to apply for our team or already have your own charity place for this event, please contact us by email at challenges@hje.org.uk or by phone on 020 7806 4093.
“Having met the St John’s team at the National Running Show, I was reminded of the incredible care my mother received and that the work done by such organisations is something that I will always be extremely grateful for. I wanted to run for St John’s to make sure that others will also get to experience that care when they need it most.”
Ryan, Runner.
