Hackney Half

Hackney Half is the headline event of Hackney Moves, a vibrant weekend of sport, entertainment, and community celebration in East London. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles through Hackney, featuring a lively course adorned with street art, live music, and enthusiastic crowd support, including handmade banners and high fives. The event is beginner-friendly and takes place on closed roads, ensuring a safe and festive atmosphere.

Alongside the half marathon, the weekend includes a free Community 5K, Schools’ Challenge, a Fitness Festival, and an Event Village on Hackney Marshes. The race consistently sells out quickly, with charity fundraising as an alternative entry route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
