The Big Half
The Big Half is a vibrant, inclusive half marathon that celebrates the diversity of London and the communities of the four boroughs the route passes through: Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich.
The event offers multiple ways to take part, including:
- Half marathon
- New Balance Big Relay
- Big Mile
The route starts at Tower Bridge and finishes by the Cutty Sark in Greenwich. The event was first held in 2018 and runs through areas noted for their local culture and community support. The organiser publishes participant guides, a spectator guide, road closure details and safety information to support runners and onlookers.
There is a volunteer programme for the event and volunteers assist with delivery at multiple points on the route. A limited number of charity places are also available. Results from recent editions are published after the event, for example the 2026 results.
Additional resources are provided for participants, including training advice and a pacer’s guide with course tips and notable moments. The event includes sponsors and partners and provides specific information for charities and participants with disabilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
