About this event
📅 11 October 2026
📍Hyde Park, London
👣 13.1 miles
Take on one of the UK’s most iconic half marathons and join Team Kids for an unforgettable 13.1-mile challenge through the heart of London.
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is the only half marathon to run through four of London’s beautiful Royal Parks on closed roads. Starting and finishing in Hyde Park, the scenic route passes world-famous landmarks including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament, as well as Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
With its mostly flat course and incredible atmosphere, it’s the perfect event for both first-time and experienced runners. Every mile you run and every pound you raise will help support disabled children and young people.
