Royal Parks Half Marathon – October 2021

Together for Short Lives is here to make a lifetime of difference for seriously ill children and their families, and you can help us do that. Join us this October for one of our favourite events of the year – The Royal Parks Half Marathon. Take on a world renowned, eco-friendly run through some of London’s most historic parks on this second very special date in 2021.

You’ll be joining 16,000 runners, taking in the stunning scenery and many of the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads. Not to mention four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.

“The event itself is the best run I have ever done, covering amazing routes including Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Embankment, and then, of course, all the central London Royal Parks”

– Dominic Magee, Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon Runner

With its infamous flat and fast course, this is the perfect event for new runners as well as those trying to beat their personal best. Alongside its unique scenery, the Royal Park Half Marathon is a green friendly event with over 66% waste from the event being recycled. Have a great day, beat your personal best and receive a unique wooden medal surrounded by your friends and family, all in support of Together for Short Lives and the seriously ill children and families we are here to support.

We are always here to help support you in reaching your goal, so feel free to get in touch with us any time. We are confident you can hit that fundraising target and with our help, you may even exceed it! As well as asking friends, family and colleagues for donations, you can also organise extra fundraising activities to reach your goal.

Registration deadline: 31 August 2021
