London's Royal Parks are yours for the taking this October. You'll join 16,000 other runners on the start-line at the UK's most beautiful half marathon.
Starting and ending in Hyde Park, you'll follow a gorgeous route through 4 of London's leafy royal parks. You can also get some sight-seeing done as you pass some of London's most famous landmarks including Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and Trafalgar Square.
The Royal Parks Half Marathon welcomes the use of manually propelled wheelchairs, however places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. All wheelchair entrants are started at the back of their wave.
Accompanying assistants can be facilitated if required.
