Royal Parks Half Marathon

Sunday 10th October

I just wanted to thank ORCHID for giving me the chance to run for you in the Royal Parks Half Marathon. The run was very enjoyable and I hope to do it again next year.

Encompassing the four Royal Parks of central London, and starting and finishing in Hyde Park, the run will wind its way through the stunning autumn landscapes of St. James's Park and Green Park, as well as parts of Kensington Gardens. This is an exciting new half marathon through some of London’s most famous parks.
