Event information

Celebrate the very best of the capital – past and present – on this unique half marathon, the only one to cross both the City of London and the City of Westminster.

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.
