The Run
The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 12 October 2008, and will start at 10am, encompassing the four Royal Parks of central London. Starting and finishing in Hyde Park, the run will wind its way through the stunning autumn landscapes of St. James's Park and The Green Park, as well as parts of Kensington Gardens which have never officially been raced through before!
The race will start at 10am
Runners and spectators alike will be able to experience some magnificent close-up views of the capital's most iconic landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Wellington Arch, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, the Royal Albert Hall, the Albert Memorial and Marble Arch.
It promises to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable events in the running calendar and a perfect challenge for anyone who loves running.

We're delighted to announce the launch of our very own Royal Parks Foundation sports kit – including a stylish, supersoft T-shirt, which you will receive with your race pack later in the year. Because we're committed to making the Half Marathon as sustainable and kind to the environment as possible, we have sourced shirts which have been woven predominantly from bamboo. Bamboo grows naturally without the need for pesticides and fertilizers, it requires little water and is naturally regenerative. For you, as a runner, key benefits include:
- Naturally breathable
- Anti-bacterial
- Keeps you cool and dry
- Durable and easily washable
If you're keen to experience the benefits of this innovative fabric before your race shirt arrives, then why not visit our official on-line kit store supplied by Crew Room, for a selection of sustainable Royal Parks Foundation branded running kit. Please order with wild abandon because 25% of all sales will be donated to The Royal Parks Foundation!
