Join #TeamShine at this fantastic half marathon!
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is London’s original half marathon and it's a unique challenge event. Run on closed roads with a festival atmosphere, it’s a landmark day for both runners and supporters alike.
The stunning 13.1-mile route will take you through four of the eight beautiful Royal Parks: Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens, as well as past iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the Royal Albert Hall.
Although there are some gentle undulations, it’s a generally flat, fast course, making it fantastic for both beginners and experienced runners.
