The Royal Parks Half marathon is a truly unique challenge event. Taking place on Sunday 13th October, the incredibly stunning 13.1 mile route winds through four of London’s picturesque Royal Parks – Hype Park, The Green Park, St James Park, and Kensington Gardens – passing by many of the capitals world-famous historical landmarks on closed roads along the way. 🏃
With 16,000 runners taking part and a crowd to cheer you on along the way, you are guaranteed a fantastic atmosphere as you pass by the likes of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and the Royal Albert Hall. What’s more, the course is generally flat, making it a perfect option for both first-time and experienced half marathon runners.
Why join #TeamProvidenceRow?
A record 10,053 people were recorded sleeping rough in London in 2022/23, this is a 21% increase on the previous year.
We are in a homelessness crisis which is being fuelled by the increase in cost of living and a lack of affordable housing. As a result, we are seeing an increased number of people access our already very busy services. These services include crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.
So whilst we continue to do everything we can to support homeless and vulnerably housed people across East London, including continuing to call on the Government to do more, we desperately need your support now more than ever. Your support will help us to continue and expand our services to help more people than ever before. It will help us to tackle the root causes of homelessness, to help people get off, and stay off, the streets. 💚
