This is not your average half marathon. With cultural landmarks and heritage spots galore this will likely be one of the most scenic half marathons you ever run.
The race starts on Duncannon Street, finishes by Whitehall and has fabulous views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.
The half marathon will be run on closed flat roads and there is a definite chance for a PB.

FAQs
How do I enter the London Landmarks Half?
There are approx 14,000 places in the LLHM. You can either enter the public ballot in June and if you're successful you’ll be notified by email, or you can get a place with a charity. The main ballot is very popular and is usually open for a week. There's also a second chance ballot, where the organiser can reallocate any unwanted places from the first ballot so it's worth keeping an eye on your email.
Can I wear headphones while I run at the London Landmarks Half?
Headphones and earphones are strongly discouraged, not just to help reduce accidents but there will be lots of on route entertainment that you won't want to miss.
Is the London Landmarks Half Marathon flat?

Did the race in 2021
My first race in 18 months. It was great to be back running and the central London location made it even more enjoyable. There was a fantastic atmosphere and I really enjoyed it.

Did the race in 2021
First half marathon ever (race or otherwise) and honestly the hardest thing I've had to do! Didn't think I would even reach the start line with a knee injury, infection and a&e trip in the run up to the event, but in the end i made it to not only the start line, but also the finish! Had to walk km 12 to 15 but somehow made a massive comeback in the last 6km and finished with a decent time all things considering. FInished the race promising I would never do another, but here I am thinking about my next race... (post knee injury recovery ofc)

Did the race in 2019
Well-organised race, with great atmosphere, support and entertainment all along the route, which (as the name implies!) goes past Londons key landmarks ... not that I had time to admire them as I puffed and painted past! Starts in Pall Mall and finishes by Downing Street. Did this, as a Londoner, as my first ever half-marathon. All in all, very pleased with it.

Did the race in 2019
I thought the event was well organised in advance and on the day. Although, I am not sure what happened with start times/starting in the right wave as this seemed very prescriptive pre-event but didn't seem to be put into practice on the day. The course was generally good although the section in the middle around St. Pauls/The City did double back a huge amount which made the run seem long and repetitive in that section - it would be good to spread the route out a bit further - perhaps over to London Bridge and The Shard etc. All in all though - great event, great atmosphere and great volunteers and supporters.

Did the race in 2019
The atmosphere around the route was fantastic with loads of music all along the route, lots of charity cheer stations and lots of spectators. The starting area was slightly confusing, I thought I has missed my wave and then ended up in an earlier wave so timings and directions could have been a bit clearer but the rest of the race, bag drop and finish was well organised.
