The route
The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for the eight Royal Parks, is launching this new 13,1 mile course, starting and ending in Hyde Park. It will take you through the most beautiful parks of London: Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park, St James’s Park and you will run along the River Thames.
The 12,500 runners will have a superb view of famous monuments such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Marble Arch, the London Eye and the Royal Albert Hall along the way.
Everyone is welcome from runners to spectators who can take part in a wide range of activities.
Once you’ve joined team we will provide you with a runners pack with tips on training and preparation for the big day, fundraising ideas to help you meet your sponsorship target and an invitation to our post race reception.
