The 2026 finisher t-shirt

We’re excited to reveal this year's Oysho Royal Parks Half finisher t-shirt, designed and produced by our new headline sponsor, Oysho.

This year's design celebrates what makes our race so unique, running through London's beautiful Royal Parks. 

The iconic route map features alongside a subtle pattern of leaves, a nod to the parks you'll run through on race day. 🍂🧡

Every mile, every turn and every park will become part of your story. And when you cross that finish line, you'll have a t-shirt to remind you of your incredible achievement.

Participants who opted in to receive a t-shirt will be able to collect this after finishing the race.

During registration for this year’s race, participants were asked to opt in or opt out of receiving a finisher t-shirt.

As in previous years, we offered both a female-fit (fitted) option and a standard (relaxed) fit. Runners selected their preferred size (S, M, L, etc.) and fit (Relaxed or Fitted) when completing their registration.

You can confirm your selection at anytime by checking your participant dashboard.

To help our volunteers on race day know if you opted out or not of a t-shirt, your race bib will indicate your choice.

Drop the finisher top

Focusing on minimizing the Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon's environmental impact in 2026, we again gave participants the option to forgo receiving a finisher’s t-shirt.

Over 24% of our 2026 participants have opted out of their finisher t-shirt!

Those of you who opted out of your finisher t-shirt will contribute to enhancing the Serpentine Lake edge in Hyde Park, providing habitats for invertebrates, amphibians, fish and birds.

If you are someone who has chosen to 'drop the top', we want to say a huge thank you! 🧡

You'll receive an email later this year with an update on this year's project. To find out more about the impact marginal habitats and wetlands will have on our biodiversity within the parks, please visit our website below.
