Half marathons in London

London is home to some of the UK’s most iconic half marathons, attracting runners from across the world to race through the capital’s historic streets and famous landmarks. From Tower Bridge to Buckingham Palace, a London half marathon is more than just 13.1 miles — it’s an unforgettable experience.

The city offers something for everyone, whether you’re chasing a personal best on a fast, closed-road course or taking in the atmosphere of charity-focused runs through London’s parks and riverside routes. With excellent transport links, world-class organisation and huge crowds lining the streets, it’s no wonder these events sell out fast.

On this page you’ll find a full list of upcoming London half marathons, along with details on how to get involved. If you’d like to run for charity, take a look at our charity half marathons in London page and if you'd like to explore races further afield, head to our half marathons guide. Otherwise, scroll down to discover the best half marathons London has to offer and start your journey to the start line.
