Join #TeamRaystede and run the 2026 Oysho 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!
Become a #TeamRaystede runner, and together we can help vulnerable animals to find the care and love they deserve.
