CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR RUNNERS FOR THEIR
FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT ON SUNDAY 12 OCTOBER 2008!!

The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for London's eight Royal Parks, proudly launched its first ever Half Marathon, sponsored by Brakes, on a gloriously sunny Sunday, 12 October 2008, which started and finished in Hyde Park.

Race day was for everyone, with a fantastic variety of activities for all the family including the Brakes Food & Fitness Festival, the Charity Village and much, much more. Event strives to be as green and environmentally friendly as possible to celebrate the amazing wildlife and heritage of the Royal Parks. Feedback from the runners and spectators alike has been fantastic and it promises to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable events in the running calendar. 

The provisional date for next year's race is Sunday 11 October 2009. You can register your interest by clicking here and we will be in touch as soon as the public places go on sale next spring.  

And if you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift to the sporty one of your family – or you’re planning to have “getting fit” as your goal in 2009 – why not purchase some cut-price technical kit from our official range created by Crew Room? Much of the range is eco-friendly – the bamboo shirts being particularly popular! And, what's best, 25% of all sales will be donated to The Royal Parks Foundation!
