Experience London's history like never before at the spectacular London Landmarks Half Marathon (LLHM). This unique, closed-road event on Sunday, 12 April 2026, is the city's only half marathon dedicated to weaving a 13.1-mile route through the very heart of Westminster and the City of London. Runners will pass a breathtaking array of iconic and quirky landmarks, from grand historic monuments and hidden cultural gems to modern architectural marvels, all while being cheered on by thousands of spectators and entertainers. As a charity-run event with no general entry ballot, securing a place means running for one of over 650 incredible charity partners, from Tommy's to Alzheimer's Research UK, making every stride meaningful. With its incredible atmosphere, flat and fast course, and the chance to see London in a completely new light, the LLHM is not just a race—it's an unforgettable celebration of the capital's past and present.
