The team at the Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for London's eight Royal Parks, is now focusing on our exciting plans for 2009.
On Sunday 11 October 2009, runners will set off on the second Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon, starting and finishing in Hyde Park. The iconic route will again wind its way past some of London’s most historic features including Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben, Admiralty Arch and, of course, through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens amongst avenues of beautiful autumnal trees.
After completing the race, runners and spectators will be able to enjoy the Brakes Food & Fitness Festival in Hyde Park with a host of household names exhibiting their latest and tastiest foods.
Our Charity Partners will also be present and activities will include a wide range of fun and sporting activities for everyone to try, big screen entertainment and music plus lots of competitions and giveaways.
Last year, intrepid runners raised over £2 million for UK charities and, with your help, we're aiming to increase that in 2009.
