Join us for the London Landmarks Half Marathon – a closed-road run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster.

The race starts by The Strand, finishes by Downing Street and has fabulous views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.
Whether you decide to run through getting your own place with the race organisers or a charity place, join the Carers UK team today and help to raise vital funds to support over 6.5 million carers around the UK. Our fundraising team will support you all the way!
