The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a stunning 13.1 mile route that takes in the capital’s world-famous landmarks.

How do I secure a place?

Royal Parks Half Marathon takes in some of the capital's world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London's eight Royal Parks - Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.

Please register to secure your place in the Royal Parks Half Marathon and experience the challenge of a lifetime. Once you've registered we can send you a support pack with fundraising ideas and training advice.

Have your own place?
If you are lucky enough to be allocated a ballot entry, email the Events Team for your running vest and supporter pack. There is no fundraising target with your own running place, we just ask that you raise as much as you can. All sponsorship will help us fund pioneering research across the world into spinal cord injury and its life-changing effects.

What can you expect from us?

  • A dedicated fundraiser
  • Personalised fundraising support
  • A half marathon training guide
  • Regular team e-newsletters
  • A Spinal Research running vest
  • A cheering party en-route
  • Not to mention heaps of encouragement, help and advice

Training support
We are pleased to be supported by GH Training, a service designed to help you train for the half marathon. Run by personal trainer Graeme Hilditch (author of our training guides), GH Training can help you achieve your half marathon goals. 

Change is possible but we need you

Signing up for one of our challenges gives hope to thousands of people with spinal cord injury.
