Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 ·

The stunning 13.1-mile route of the Royal Parks Half Marathon takes in many of the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.

Story

St Christopher's Hospice offered my very close friend Ed the most amazing care in the last week of his life.

I am very much not a runner, but Ed loved it. He tried on numerous occasions to get me into and run a half marathon, but I always found an excuse to get out of it. But I'm dusting off the running shoes now as it both feels like an apt way to honour Ed and raise money for the wonderful work that St Christopher's do.

St Christopher's are proud to offer world class palliative and end of life care to everyone who needs it, whenever or wherever that may be. They provide exactly the support and environment needed at the most difficult of times.
