About the event
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is one of the most beautiful closed-road courses on offer. Beginning and ending in Hyde Park, you’ll make your way through Green Park, St James’s Park, and Kensington Gardens taking in some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks along the way.
The 13.1-mile route is on a generally flat course making it perfect for both beginners and experienced runners chasing a personal best. What’s more, by running as part of Team St John’s, you will be helping us to provide quality, holistic care when it is needed most.
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. Apply today to avoid disappointment!
If already have your own place for this event and would like to use it to run for St John's, we'd love to have you onboard. Please let us know by completing our own place application form here.
"It really was an amazing day, knowing I helped raise over £800 for the hospice. A place I have worked many shifts as a nurse. Seeing the work the Hospice team does. The relationships built. The support for the community. I am proud to be a part of it and support them in this special way."
Sandra, Runner.
