Date and time
08:00 - 14:00The Big Half is back! The date has been announced for Sunday 3rd of September!
A great route that starts by Tower Bridge and finishes alongside the Cutty Sark in Greenwich. The route is known as the first half of the London Marathon, but backwards.
Route:
This 13.1 mile race will take you on an out and back to Canary Wharf. On the way back, you will be running through the backstreets of Limehouse and Wapping before crossing over Tower Bridge as you head pass Bermondsey station and loop around Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Surrey Quays. The last couple of miles are through Deptford as you muster your energy with the crowds cheering you on for a sprint finish to Cutty Sark!

After party?
Yes, there is always an after-party to celebrate our achievements. Last year, we had a booking at "Richard the First" courtesy of "Sarah Hornsey". This year, she's booked us in for The Mitre, which is next to Greenwich Park and more importantly, the finish line! Sign up here! See you there, if not on the course ;)
