Royal Parks Half Marathon
Sunday 10 October 2010
One of London's premier half marathons (13.1 miles/21 kilometres) and voted as best new event by Runners World in 2008, this half marathon starts and finishes in Hyde Park, taking in St James's Park, Green Park and Kensington Gardens along the way. Runners and spectators alike have magnificent views of landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. It has become a very popular event.
Places are NOW open and available!
“I guess there is no clearer evidence of enjoyment than going back for more - and I wasn’t disappointed the second time around. What more could you ask for than the opportunity to combine the challenge and personal achievement of a half marathon with the reward of contributing in some small way to the work of such a great charity? Roll on 2010. I am already thinking about my training (even if it is only thinking at this stage)”.
