Royal Parks Half Marathon

The Royal Parks Half Marathon showcases London's green heart with British sophistication. Runners journey through four of the capital's magnificent parks, past Buckingham Palace, and alongside the Thames, experiencing both royal grandeur and natural tranquility. October's autumn colors create a spectacular backdrop as participants navigate a gently undulating course on both paved paths and packed gravel trails. The route offers iconic views of London landmarks while remaining remarkably peaceful despite being in the city center. British spectators bring their characteristically understated but genuine support, creating an atmosphere that balances serious competition with appreciation for the historic surroundings. This race captures London's distinctive character—traditionally dignified yet accessibly welcoming—in a uniquely English running experience.
