Lucky runners who secured a place in The 2011 Royal Parks Half Marathon
Fancy running a half marathon later in the year? Get your name down now for the popular Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on October 7, 2012.
Starting and finishing in Hyde Park, the largely flat 13.1 mile route races you through four of London’s famous Royal Parks (Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park and St James’s Park), offering 12,500 runners distracting views of some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Marble Arch and the Royal Albert Hall.
For two years now, entry has been by ballot, which closes at 5pm on Thursday January 26, 2012. Successful entrants will find out if they have won a much coveted race place by email on Monday, January 30, 2012, when the ballot draw takes place.
Over the last four years, the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon has raised near to £11m for more than 360 partner charities, including Mind, Tommy’s, Cancer Research UK and UNICEF. Participation also helps the Royal Parks Foundation to support London’s Royal Parks for everyone to enjoy, now and in the future.
