This year, the Royal Parks Half Marathon is on Sunday 7th October.
Running through four of London’s royal parks, this picturesque half marathon takes in some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks.
The ballot for a place is now closed, but there are still plenty of opportunities to run with a charity.
We’ve put together a list of charities that have told us that they have spaces left on their Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon team. Find out how many places they have, what the minimum fundraising target is and how you can apply.
We’ll be updating this post weekly, so do keep checking back for updates.
Good luck!
