Run Green with the Royal Parks Half 25th September 2020

Important notice

The Royal Parks charity / challenges@royalparks.org.uk manage and support all successful charity place applicants who run and fundraise for The Royal Parks charity through the Royal Parks Half Marathon event. Please note, we do not manage the organisation of race day and we are not the Royal Parks Half Marathon event organisers.

The Royal Parks Half Marathon event organisers oversee the organisation of race day. Please email the event organisers via info@royalparkshalf.com if you are a fundraiser who is running for a DIFFERENT charity, if you are a charity looking to buy charity places in the race or if you’re ballot place runner.

Event summary

Set yourself a challenge to run and fundraise for The Royal Parks charity through the most scenic half marathon! This stunning 13.1 mile race takes place in the capital's world famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of our eight Royal Parks - Hyde Park, The Green Park, St. James's Park and Kensington Gardens.

  • Event Date: Sunday 9th October 2022
  • Minimum Sponsorship: £350 (excl. Gift Aid & Reg Fee)
  • Registration Fee: £30 (Non-Refundable)
  • Registration Deadline: Friday 26th August 2022

If you have any questions about running and fundraising for Team Royal Parks, please email challenges@royalparks.org.uk call 0300 061 2084.

Support for Team Royal Parks

  • A guaranteed charity race place provided to you by The Royal Parks charity
  • A Team Royal Parks sustainable running vest
  • Regular contact with and dedicated support from the Challenge Events Team to keep you motivated and prepare you for race day
  • Monthly e-newsletters with lots of fundraising and training tips to support your sponsorship and training efforts
  • Exclusive access to The Royal Parks Charity Marquee on race day with hot drinks, refreshments, toilet & pre-race baggage drop facility, and a professional photographer to grab a snap of you in your running gear
  • x2 free tickets to Winter Wonderland 2022 (with free access to all rides) for the highest team fundraiser
  • x10 free paintball tickets to the second highest team fundraiser
  • x2 Hyde Park Guided Walking Tour tickets for the third highest team fundraiser

Important sponsorship information

If your application form is successful, your minimum sponsorship of £350 (excl. Gift Aid & Reg Fee) will go to The Royal Parks charity – it WILL NOT go to a different charity.

Please note our charity places are in high demand, therefore we would expect you to raise at least £100 (excluding Gift Aid & Registration Fee) of your minimum sponsorship target by 31st July 2022 to show your commitment to the charity place, failure to do so can result in The Royal Parks charity withdrawing your charity place from the event. (If you join Team Royal Parks between 1st July 2022 and 26th August 2022, we would expect you to raise this amount by 30th September 2022).

Got your own place through the ballot?

Why not run for The Royal Parks charity? No registration fee necessary and there is no minimum sponsorship. All we ask is that you set up a fundraising page and fundraise as much as you can! Please email challenges@royalparks.co.uk or call 0300 061 2084 to join Team Royal Parks.

Why run and fundraise for The Royal Parks charity?

Our eight Royal Parks are some of Britain’s most loved green spaces, covering 5,000 acres and enjoyed by more than 77 million people a year - from local Londoners to visitors from around the globe.

The parks provide essential quiet spaces for people to escape the pressures of daily life, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and discover the wonders of the natural world. They've been a part of London's identity for hundreds of years.

Your fundraising will help us to care for the parks, conserving their natural landscapes and keeping them accessible for everyone. Run with us to keep the Royal Parks beautiful and bursting with life for all to enjoy, for today and future generations!
