About the Royal Parks Half Marathon
Experience London at its most beautiful as you run 13.1 miles through four of the capital's iconic Royal Parks: Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.
Along the way, you'll take in famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace and the Royal Albert Hall, on a scenic route that's ideal for first-time half marathon runners and seasoned runners alike.
And by running for Shout, you'll be helping people access vital mental health support when they need it most.
Every day, thousands of people turn to Shout for support when they're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or struggling to cope.
Our free, confidential text messaging service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering a listening ear and compassionate support whenever it's needed.
By joining our fundraising team, you'll be doing more than taking on a personal challenge. You'll be helping us continue to be there for people experiencing moments of crisis.
Emma ran the Amsterdam Half Marathon for us and says:
"Whatever challenge you choose, the feeling you get after completion is unmatched. As well as the personal achievement, knowing that the money you’ve raised is going to help someone struggling makes it all worth it."
Shout fundraiser Ottilie challenged herself to run the Cambridge half marathon, raising an amazing £500 for Shout in the process.
