Take on an iconic race

There are few races as breathtaking as the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Winding its way through four of London’s magnificent Royal Parks and past world-famous landmarks including Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. It’s 13.1 miles of pure inspiration.

With closed roads, stunning autumn scenery and thousands of cheering supporters, it’s no surprise this is one of the UK’s most prestigious and sought-after half marathons. The atmosphere is electric. And the sense of achievement as you cross the finish line is unforgettable.

A Prestigious Place on the Start Line

Ballot places are highly competitive, and completely sold out for 2026 (and they cost £171 even if you were lucky enough to get one!).

By choosing to run for North Devon Hospice, you can secure your place for just £40, with a commitment to raise a minimum of £400. Not only is it a more accessible way to enter this world-class event, but it also gives every mile a deeper meaning.

Run with Purpose for North Devon Hospice

When you run for North Devon Hospice, you’re not just taking on a personal challenge — you’re helping local families facing the toughest of times.

Every pound you raise helps provide specialist care and compassionate support to people with life-limiting illnesses across North Devon, as well as their loved ones. It means nurses at the bedside. It means comfort, dignity and expert care at home as well as at the hospice.

Make It More Than a Race

Training for a half marathon takes commitment. There will be early mornings, long runs and moments when motivation dips. Knowing you’re doing it for North Devon Hospice — for friends, neighbours and families in our community — can carry you through.

On race day, you won’t just be running past some of London’s most iconic sights. You’ll be running for something that truly matters.

Secure your charity place today for just £40, and turn an incredible race into an unforgettable act of kindness.
