I'm running for home at Hackney Half 2026

Tom Burrows is raising money for Shelter

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

A home is a human right. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency. Our amazing team of Hackney Half runners are joining the fight to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

Story

I've not been in the running game very long, this will be just my second half-marathon, however I am very much looking forward to completing 21km's around the streets of Hackney, and all in support of a great cause.

Help me support the fight for home and put some money towards a great cause!

It's estimated that 1.7 million people are impacted by the housing emergency, either trying to get by without a safe place to call home or dealing with damp and mould in poorly kept rental and temporary housing.

My fundraising will support families and individuals facing homelessness and unfit housing.

Any donations big or small would be greatly appreciated, some support on the day would also be lovely - pints to be had afterwards!
