The London Landmarks Half Marathon
The London Landmarks Half Marathon is a central London running event that takes place on closed roads. The route is designed to showcase the city's heritage, passing through both the City of Westminster and the City of London. It is organized by the charity Tommy’s and serves as a major fundraising platform for various causes.
The event focuses on three thematic elements along the course:
- The Grand: Highlighting the major iconic landmarks of the capital.
- The Quirky: Showcasing unusual and lesser-known historical details.
- The Hidden: Discovering secret locations and stories tucked away in the city streets.
Participants can access the event through multiple entry routes. A public ballot is typically held for those wishing to secure a place directly. Alternatively, runners can obtain entry through charity places, supporting partners such as Tommy's, Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation, and Mind. There are also specific entry paths for international participants and corporate teams.
The event features a community engagement program that involves local businesses, schools, and volunteers. On race day, the course is supported by official sponsors including the Royal Bank of Canada. Results are tracked electronically, and official merchandise, including iTABs for medals, is available for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
