The Royal Parks Half Marathon is London’s original half marathon. Ran on closed roads through four of the eight Royal Parks, as well as being the greenest race of its kind in the UK!

We have 10 spaces available for keen runners to join us for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in support of our work in the community.

Apply for a Royal Parks Half Marathon charity space here before applications to run for us close! (1st May 2026)

APPLY FOR A PALACE FOR LIFE CHARITY PLACE

Our charity places come with:

  • A £35 registration fee
  • A £350 fundraising target
  • A Palace for Life running top
  • Ongoing fundraising support and resources from our expert fundraising team

With one of our official charity places, you’ll be supporting our life-changing work in South London.

Last year, we delivered over 65 hours of free community football every week, but it’s about so much more than the game. Your fundraising could help a young person find their first job, support someone struggling with their mental health, or provide kids in South London schools support to help prepare them for their next stage in life.

About the Royal Parks Half Marathon

The stunning 13.1-mile route takes in many of the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.

Race date: 11th October 2026.

Further information can be found here, with the route finalised soon!
