London Landmarks Half Marathon 2023
Organised by Different Strokes (Trustees) LimitedLondon's only half marathon through Westminster and the City.
Story
Every year approximately 100,000 people will have a stroke in the UK and a quarter of these will happen to people of working age or younger and it is the single biggest cause of disability. Different Strokes is the only charity dedicated to younger stroke survivors to provide active peer support through information, advice and rehabilitation services.
Our amazing team of runners have been inspired by their own and other's journeys of stroke recovery.
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 race starts by The Strand, finishes by Downing Street and has fabulous views of London's most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Pauls Cathedral, Nelsons Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.
Different Strokes has been positive for me. It has helped me so much, from the information being readily available to knowing someone is at the end of the phone. Thank you. - Lisa
Different strokes has allowed me to not only express how I feel when I've wanted to, but also for me to hear that other people feel how I do (even if I don't want to admit how I feel). Having someone to listen who has been through the same has been the difference for me. - Georgia
My stroke was 4 years ago and different strokes is still an active part of my recovery. The Facebook group is such an amazing resource of knowledge and support. Peer support offers such huge benefits for all. Thank you and keep up the good work.- Anon
