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

The incredible 13.1 mile route takes you through four of the eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens – and past some of the capital’s most iconic sights; including Buckingham Palace, The Mall and the Royal Albert Hall.

Billed as the UK’s most scenic and greenest half marathon, this is a challenge not to be missed!

Our charity places for 2025 are now sold out, but you can still run for Raystede with your own place. Or, complete an interest form and be the first to find out about our 2026 places.
