Join #TeamOrchid at the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026
This stunning central London half marathon route takes in some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks, on closed roads and within four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens. Run on closed roads with a festival atmosphere, the stunning course threads its way through the beauty and majesty of four Royal Parks and past iconic landmarks including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the Royal Albert Hall. Although there are some gentle undulations it’s a generally flat course, making it fantastic for both beginners and experienced runners.
Join with one of our guaranteed charity places with a minimum sponsorship pledge, or use your own place and choose your own fundraising target.
