Event Overview

The Big Half is a running event designed to celebrate the community and diversity of London. First held in 2018, the event features a course that travels through the heart of four specific London boroughs: Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lewisham, and Greenwich.

Course and Distances

The route begins at the iconic Tower Bridge and concludes at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich. Participants can choose from several different event formats:

  • Half Marathon (21.1 km)
  • New Balance Big Relay
  • Big Mile (1.6 km)

The event is structured to be inclusive, with specific entry categories such as community entries and options for participants with disabilities. Training plans are made available to help runners prepare for their chosen distance.

Additional Features

The event emphasizes cultural spirit and community support along the route. For those who do not wish to run, there are opportunities to participate as a volunteer to assist with the delivery of the event. Results from previous years, starting from 2023, are maintained for reference. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
