HOKA Hackney Moves - Hackney Marshes, 14-17 May 2026
HOKA Hackney Moves is a multi-day running festival held at Hackney Marshes in mid-May 2026. The programme combines road races, community and schools events, and a weekend festival with fitness activities, food and live acts. Portions of the event take place on closed roads and include course music and spectator areas.
The event programme includes these distances and formats:
- 21.1 km Half Marathon
- 5 km Community 5K
- 10 km Hackney Quarter night run
- Schools' Challenge for local schoolchildren
The Hackney Quarter night run is staged on closed roads and is followed by an after-party. The half marathon runs through the heart of the borough and is described as taking place on closed roads with music and crowd support along the route. The weekend also highlights community elements such as charity entries, volunteer roles and run-club involvement, and provides information about road closures. The festival partnership includes HOKA and several community and commercial partners. Some events have sold-out status and organisers provide pre-registration information for future editions.
