London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026

The London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026 is a central London road race that routes runners through the Cities of Westminster and London, offering a unique city-centre experience on fully closed roads. The course passes many of the capital’s best-known sights, including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, The Shard and the London Eye, creating a landmark-packed route in the heart of the city. The event is promoted as London’s only half marathon to go through both Westminster and the City and is accompanied by the atmosphere of large crowds and route-side activations. The official LLHM site provides route maps and event information for participants and charities.

On-course entertainment is a major feature, with musical performances, DJs, dancers and themed cheer stations positioned along the route to create an ‘incredible atmosphere’ for runners and spectators. The event works with official charity partners and lists partners such as Tommy’s and the Alzheimer’s Society among its affiliated charities, with multiple charities offering team places and fundraising support. Route documents and a 2026 route PDF are available from the official site for entrants who need further course detail or planning resources. Practical specifics such as start time, wave structure and timing details are published separately by LLHM and its charity partners; these are not stated on the route information page provided.
