Join #TeamShine at the Hackney Half Marathon - with live bands and entertainment throughout the course, this isn't just a race, it's a full-on festival!
After 2023's sell out event, why not see what the buzz is all about at the Wizz Air Hackney Half? The fantastic route showcases the historic Broadway Market and vibrant street art of East London. With live bands and entertainment throughout the course, this isn't just a race, it's a full-on festival, with live music, local food and drink etc as part of the Hackney Moves Festival.
There’ll be live entertainment and DJs to keep you inspired as you run, not just at event centres but during the race, both at event HQ and out on the course. There’ll be no need for headphones as the streets will be alive with music and a buzzing atmosphere.
The Route
Runners will cruise down Mare Street through a carnival of sound. You’ll pass some iconic landmarks and venues, including the famous Town Hall, the historic Broadway Market and Hackney Wick. Keep an eye out for the vibrant street art.
To add to this already great mix, the route is flat and fast, making it perfect for anyone doing their first half marathon or looking for a PB.
While the 2024 Route will be similar to previous years, keep an eye out for the updated map which will be released closer to the event date.
