Become a charity partner

Since our first race in 2008, runners of the Royal Parks Half Marathon, presented by Royal Bank of Canada, have raised nearly £65 million for more than 1200 UK-based charities.

The stunning course, festival atmosphere and environmentally conscious approach all make it a fantastic day out for supporters as well as runners.

Charity partners receive expert support with marketing and recruitment from the Royal Parks Half team whether you purchase one place or five hundred, making sure the race is open to all charities, no matter the size or budget.

How to become a charity partner

All charity places in the Royal Parks Half Marathon cost £148 each (VAT exempt and excluding the £4.95 admin fee). You can pay for your places on card or via invoice.

Our 2024 Golden Oak, Silver Birch and Copper Beech charities have now been selected after an application process. 

Elm and Sapling charity places will open for purchase on Tuesday 5 December.
