Travel disruptions
We want to make all participants, supporters, and volunteers aware of planned travel disruptions during the Royal Parks Half Marathon weekend, Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October 2025.
London Victoria – No Southern or Gatwick Express Services
Engineering work is taking place at London Victoria across race weekend. This means there no Southern or Gatwick Express services will run to/from London Victoria on Saturday 11 or Sunday 12 October.
Alternative routes are available via London Bridge. From there, you can take the Jubilee line to Green Park and walk to the event. Please see the National Rail website for more details.
Piccadilly Line closure - No service
Transport for London have scheduled engineering works on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October, resulting in a full closure of the Piccadilly line between Cockfosters and Hammersmith.
As a result, our nearest Tube stations, Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge will be closed across the race weekend (Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October).
There is also a reduced service on the Elizabeth Line between Paddington and Maidenhead / Heathrow Terminal 4.
Key Reminders
The race begins promptly at 09:00 on Sunday. Due to strict road reopening times, the start cannot be delayed.
Please allow extra time for your journey and check your route in advance.
