Royal Parks Half Marathon 2024

Lace up your running shoes and join Team War Child for this stunning central London Half Marathon, on Sunday 13th October. 

The route takes in some of the capital's world-famous landmarks on closed roads, starting in Hyde Park, and running through Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens. It’s a race on every runner’s bucket list!

Your £325 minimum sponsorship target could provide 10 whole families caught up in conflict with all their basic needs for a month, including food and blankets, or cover the cost of 19 children being safely reunited with their families. 

In 2023, over 100 War Child runners came together to take part in this iconic event, raising an incredible amount of money to support children living through conflict. Will you join us this year?
