The Royal Parks Half Marathon takes in some of the capital's world-famous landmarks, on closed roads and within four of London's eight Royal Parks: Hyde Park, Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.
Charity Place
Our Royal Parks Half Marathon places cost £35 and come with a £350 minimum sponsorship target (not including Gift Aid).
Own Place
If you have secured your own place through Royal Parks Half directly, we would love for you to join #TeamStroke. Those who secure their own place will have no minimum sponsorship target, but every penny you do raise will help rebuild lives after stroke.

Why join #TeamStroke?
Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. Taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon means you are part of the team helping us to continue the work that we do, such as funding stroke support services and researching better treatments, care and rehabilitation.
Along the way, we will support you with training tips, fundraising advice and support. You'll also receive your very own Stroke Association running vest to wear with pride on the big day.
If you have any questions, please contact our fundraising team at supporter.relations@stroke.org.uk
