Oysho announced as new Headline Sponsor.

We're delighted to welcome Oysho as the new Headline Sponsor of the Royal Parks Half Marathon marking an exciting new chapter for our much-loved race.

Taking place each October, the Royal Parks Half Marathon welcomes more than 18,000 runners to the heart of London, offering a spectacular 13.1-mile route through four of the capital's Royal Parks and past world-famous landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament. Since launching in 2008, the event has raised more than £80 million for over 1,900 charities, while inspiring thousands of people each year to take on their own personal challenge.

As one of Europe's fastest-growing performance sportswear brands, Oysho has established itself in the sport and leisure world by designing technical collections for running, fitness, yoga, Pilates, barre, padel, skiing and more.

Together, the partnership reflects a shared ambition to inspire more people to move, train and experience the benefits of running, whether preparing for your first half marathon or chasing a personal best on race day.

Oysho will provide this year's official finisher T-shirts for those who have opted in to receive one, giving our participants the opportunity to experience the brand's innovative technical performance wear.

For participants that have opted in for a finisher T-shirt, their selected fit remains unchanged. They'll receive the fit selected during registration, either a relaxed or a women's fitted style.

Throughout the build-up to race day, Oysho will deliver a programme of community-focused activations, including training runs, wellness experiences and exclusive events designed to inspire you, support your training journey and strengthen London's running community.

Andrew Scattergood, Chief Executive, The Royal Parks said: "Every year, thousands of runners come together to experience the unique atmosphere of the Royal Parks Half Marathon. We're excited to partner with Oysho, a brand that shares our belief that running is about more than crossing the finish line, it's about community, confidence and creating memorable experiences. Together, we're looking forward to making the 2026 event our most exciting yet."

Community sits at the heart of both organisations. Through Oysho Community, the brand connects thousands of people every week via running clubs, studio partnerships and training sessions, while the Royal Parks Half Marathon has built a reputation for bringing together runners of every ability in support of hundreds of charities.

Together, the partnership reflects a shared ambition to inspire more people to move, train and experience the benefits of running, whether preparing for their first half marathon or chasing a personal best on race day.

Registered participants can keep an eye on their inboxes and our social channels for upcoming events, training opportunities and exclusive experiences.
