2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon

Join #TeamRaystede and take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon to help injured and unwanted animals in need!

This event is not your average half marathon. From cultural landmarks and heritage to the city’s quirky and hidden secrets, runners get to explore the capital on a route like no other.

The closed-road race begins by Downing Street, finishes on Pall Mall, and has brilliant views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.

From the bowler hat send-off to the Roman reception; amazing samba bands to the London Show Choir, runners and spectators alike will be kept entertained throughout the course.

So, ready to tick the London Landmarks Half Marathon off your bucket-list? Join our 2026 team and your miles will make a real difference to the animals that need our help.

Please note, our charity places for 2026 are now full, but you can still run for Raystede with your own place. Or, register your interest for 2027, and be the first to find out when places become available for next year's event.
