The Virgin Sport Hackney Half is undoubtedly the coolest event of the season. Run through East London's trendiest borough along this flat and fast route.
Your Hackney Half experience
You'll start off by cruising down Mare Street through a carnival of sound, pass by the famous Hackney Town Hall, head through the historic Broadway Market, and then take in Hackney Wick, the most vibrant addition. This section of the route will bring all the vibes, with Cheer Dem Crew stationed here bringing all the Cheer Dem Spirit.
After the race you can enjoy the Hackney Festival of Fitness with your friends and family, with entertainment, workshops and the best of local food, drink, and lifestyle brands.
Accessibility
Hackney Half welcomes the use of self-propelled wheelchairs. All day wheelchair entrants are started at the back of their wave. Any wheelchair users who qualify for the elite wave and use a racing wheelchair will start at the front of the race.
Free places for guides and support runners can be issued where necessary. Please let us know if you require an additional place for a guide/support runner and we will help facilitate this.
