London Landmarks Half Marathon
Event information
Expect a wonderfully celebratory atmosphere, plenty of quirky discoveries and surprises, and – of course! – the unique opportunity to run past London's most iconic landmarks on closed roads.
Run for WaterAid and when you cross the finish line, you won't just be achieving your own goal: you'll be helping others reach theirs too, thanks to the life-changing power of clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene.
What you'll get from us
To help support all our runners in the lead up to race day we’ve teamed up with the company RunningWithUs to provide you with a special training package. As a member of our team you’ll receive:
- A bespoke training plan – suitable for your level of experience
- Email helpline – ask a coach or physio your training, race, nutrition or injury questions
- Twitter and Facebook ask-the-coach services and webinar sessions
- A WaterAid running vest or technical t-shirt
We also provide a fundraising pack to help you meet your targets, fundraising and event resources like balloons, collecting tins and banners (upon request) and regular newsletters with support and advice from our dedicated WaterAid events team.
