Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026

Experience the Royal Parks Half Marathon, a spectacular 13.1-mile route through the heart of London. This iconic course takes runners along closed roads past world-famous landmarks and through four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’s Park, and Kensington Gardens. With its vibrant festival atmosphere, it’s a landmark day for both participants and supporters.

The route combines beauty and history at every turn. Starting in Hyde Park and finishing in Kensington Gardens, runners will pass Buckingham Palace, Horse Guards Parade, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Kensington Palace, and the Royal Albert Hall. The course is mostly flat with gentle undulations, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned runners alike.
