2026 Royal Parks Half Marathon
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is London’s original half marathon!
Created back in 2008, as the first and only half marathon through the centre of London. 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 in all their Autumn glory. The RPHM is also the greenest race of its kind in the UK! To learn more about their Sustainability aims visit royalparkshalf.com/sustainability
How do you sign up?
Visit https://www.royalparkshalf.com/ and register your interest! You’ll hear from the organisers when the ballot opens in early 2026.
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 between £400-500, and then taking it from there! If you need additional guidance on this, we are happy to help.
If you are unsuccessful in the ballot PSPA will have a limited amount of charity places. For these places there is a smaller entry fee, and then we ask for you to pledge to raise a minimum amount.
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. |
While we wait for charity places to be confirmed, please sign up for the ballot reminder & enter when open! You can also fill in the application below and we will be in touch to register your interest and let you know when charity places become available.
