Royal Parks Half Marathon

Starting and finishing in Hyde Park, you will run through four of London’s Royal Parks in a leafy, landmark packed course. This sellout event is one of the most popular and sustainable runs in the UK, making it a perfect partner for Amnesty and our Climate Justice work. Join Team Amnesty and help protect our planet.
