All 2025 charity places have sold out. Please keep your eyes on https://www.royalparkshalf.com/ for details on how to enter the general ballot though! It will open in early 2025. Join 16,000 runners in London’s original Half Marathon… To register your interest in places in the 2026 event please email [email protected] |
While PSPA is not able to purchase additional charity places in this event, the organisers have made it easy to enter the ballot. Use the link above to register your interest and you’ll hear from the organisers when the ballot opens in early 2025.
If successful and you gain a place, there is no set fundraising target to meet. For a half-marathon we would suggest starting with a goal to raise at least £300, and then taking it from there! If you need additional guidance on this, we are happy to help.
All runners pledging to raise funds for PSPA are eligible for a PSPA running top to wear for your race day – great to wear it for training to as it gives you the opportunity to talk about what you are doing AND why.
You can visit www.justgiving.com/psp to create your fundraising page. Use your page to tell your own personal story, personalise it with photos, let all your potential supporters know why you are doing this challenge, , who may have inspired you, and the realities of PSP or CBD. Connect Strava if you use it so it will push training updates to your page, and update your page often, using it almost like a blog – this gives you a good excuse to share it around again, and it gives your supporters a reason to want to check in on your progress. Set a target, and don’t be afraid to raise that when you come close to achieving it. The number one reason people don’t give, is because they weren’t asked. |
