To anyone looking for a challenge this year, take part in The Big Half Marathon. It's full of the buzz of the London Marathon, which supports you every step of the 13.1 miles! Don't be scared, take it easy, walk a little if you need and enjoy every moment of this amazing event."

The Big Half marathon is a community running festival for everyone and you could be a part of it.

  • Start at Tower Bridge and take in spectacular views as you cross the river, finishing by the Cutty Sark.

  • A member of Team Guts UK will be around to greet you on the big day (with post-running snacks!)

  • Registration fee – £15
