Royal Parks Half Marathon

Join #TeamGriefEncounter at the Royal Parks Half Marathon in 2026.

This stunning central London half marathon route takes in some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks, on closed roads and within four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park, and Kensington Gardens.

  • £40 registration fee (non-refundable) 
  • £450 minimum fundraising target (excluding gift aid)
  • Raise £100 and we’ll send you a Grief Encounter t-shirt to wear with pride on race day.

With every step, you’ll help Grief Encounter reach more bereaved children and young people — and we’ll support you all the way with tips, advice, and plenty of cheer!

Our team is currently full, but register your interest to be the first to hear if any places become available.
