The Event

The Hackney Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile flat route race that takes place in East London.

It’s a highlight in London's running calendar, and one that shows East London at its finest, passing Hackney Downs, Hackney Empire, Broadway Market, Victoria Park and the London Stadium, crossing the finish line into the fitness festival on the Hackney Marshes.

The Cause

This year we have a group of committed individuals taking on the Hackney Half in support of our services – raising essential funds for people living with HIV in East London.

We know we’re ‘not done yet’ as 106,000 people in the UK (50,000 in London) still live with HIV. Stigma persists, and too many remain undiagnosed or diagnosed late. Funding cuts threaten essential services.

The funds our 2025 Hackney Half team raise will go towards Positive East’s holistic range of health and well-being programmes - from counselling and workshops to HIV testing and prevention - making a direct and tangible impact in the lives of people living with HIV.

Thank you so much for your support!
